Hi there all, I've just got Carmageddon & I've been mucking around with it. I tried the New Network Game 'button' and got this message - "Sorry network play is unavailable, check drivers, cabling etc." What the hell....?? What does this mean? What can I do? Please don't tell me to go read the manual, coz this is really a half hearted attempt on my part. I got my new computer at the beginning of this year from Gateway - and they seem to have used a weird setup for all the IRQ's etc [This is my first computer with a modem] And every damn game I've tried (Commanche, Werewolf, F15, NFSSE, ICR1, Nascar2, Doom, Hexen...) don't like it's damn setup....It's really been a big disappointment - basically any new game I get I just take a quick look to see if I can connect other wise I just forget the modem play & play by myself :-(. Is there any FAQ out there - somewhere on how to configure a system for modem play? I thought I read somewhere that if you are playing a game through Win95, it doesn't matter about what config you use, coz Win95 autodetects it.....but does this work in games that use a Dos-box? Well, can somebody, anybody, give me any helpful advice? tia R
