N2 Rendition under Win95? One more time!

Sorry for asking this question again guys. I have been running renddma (Intergraph Reactor, btw) from DOS mode just fine (well, with the colored screen confetti during startup, but otherwise OK). I recently bought and upgraded another computer and installed an ethernet network under win95. This too seems to work great with TCP/IP, IPX. etc. protocols. I obviously want to run N2 across the network (why else would I have installed it, right?). I would like to run N2 under win95 since my IPX protocol is running under win95. Also, I'm tired of waiting on the reboot when I exit N2. No dice! I have tried every memory setting I can imagine in the pif. I can get N2 to load, but when I click on the PRACTICE button in the race screen, I get the engine sound, but it sounds a little strange (it sounds like a wave file repeating quickly but not very smoothly). The in-car screen doesn't come up. The screen is locked up with race screen still up and the PRACTICE button highlighted. The computer is locked up at this point. Last night I got the in-car screen OK in multiplayer network mode but the car was spinning the tires at the pit wall and my T2 didn't have any effect. In regular single player mode I get the lock up as stated above. The system also locks if I try to go to the options screen from the main menu. Oddly, I can go to the options screen from the race screen and calibrate my T2 just fine. I also tried turning off the radio buttons oin the screen settings in the pif. No change. I haven't upgraded my video bios or drivers in a while. I am running the second N2 patch, v1.02 or v1.03, I can't remember which. I started with v1.00 and ran 2 patches. I am running a 100mhz Intel Pentium on an Ocean Rhino 9 motherboard (HX chipset) with 32 meg ram (non-edo). I would really like for someone with a similar system successfully running N2 under win95 to send me all the pif settings they use. I am at my wits end. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!! Tony Joy

Tony: Try starting with the NASREND bat, instead of the renddma bat. If I do it that way, I can run IPX in W95 using the rendition cards.
