Nascar 2003 help?

I recently did a fresh install of NR2003. When I try to Multiplay on Race Sierra I get a "bad community" error?

I came by here looking to see if anyone else was complaining or had an explanation. I had copied my previous install of NR2K3 to another drive and did a fresh install of WinXP after having totally hosed my sound drivers playing around with different nForce audio drivers that were supposedly better... should have stuck with what was working. Anyway, once I had everything back up I installed NR2K3 and then copied my optimized version (new car sets, setups and such) over the fresh install and everything works great except this "bad community" error when I try to race online. Anyone else experiencing this? Robin

Its like that for everybody. Sierra bug, keep trying and it eventually works. Hopefully they will fix it...

I knew I would find the answer here. Thanks. After repeated attempts this afternoon I did eventually get in. "Robin" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:Hgvoc.2973$j6.2040@edtnps84...
