N2 peer-to-peer problems

1 post by 1 person · 26 Mar 1997 - 26 Mar 1997

I've finally figured out why N2 was saying "Can't initialize IPX card" It seems the problem went away if I had the N2 CD-rom in the drive. But I'm still having problems getting N2 multiplayer to work with my 2 computer peer-to-peer network. I select dial for one machine, and answer for the second. The problem is that N2 uses the dial computer as a server (not as one of the drivers), and the answering computer is the only driver that shows up. Is there a way for me to get around this problem? Should I set both machines to answer? Any suggestions would be helpful. BTW, Buy the Linksys network in a box kit if your a newbie to networks ($80 for PCI kit) - I was up and running in 1.5 hours!
