How to run network race in Nascar Racing

Ok, several people couldn't get NCR to run a network race. First, you have to be logged onto a server. Peer-to-peer networks won't do it. To start, type :nascar -n:userid (the userid is your racing partner's login) select multiplayer change modem to direct When you get back to the MP menu, you'll see a line 'user id', or 'net id', I forgot which. That would be where you typed your opponent's id if you didn't start the program with it. From here it proceeds like a modem race. One person dials, and the other answers. Should work fine. Good luck! <later> Eldred p.s. If I've confused the hell out of anybody, let me know.<g> I am NOT paranoid. And why are you always watching me?!? Eldred Pickett

Yoiu may be right, but my experience is that you do not have to start the game with NASCAR -N:userid <enter> Simply starting the game by typing NASCAR -N <enter> and then going to the MULTIPLAYER menu and then entering the opponents user id. You can then dial and answer as per modem race. Of course, you have to be logged in. Mike

I know you don't, but it seemed that I was the ONLY one who DIDN'T include the userid in the command line, so that's the way I wrote it... Eldred Pickett I am NOT paranoid. And why are you always watching me?!?
