I'am having trouble getting Nascar2 to work on a local network using
Windows95 IPX/SPX protocol. I get an error message saying that Nascar2
cannot initialize IPX device.

Mark, nope, nada, no way. This may be true for on-line stuff, =
but not for a LAN.

Mike,
=20
I pulled out several handfuls of hair prior to getting this to =
work, but I have N2 running through my Win95 LAN very nicely.
=20
Ok, simple stuff, but I had trouble with it, so maybe you are =
too.
=20
1. Make sure the IPX protocol is actually working. Easiest way =
is to try and play either Duke 3d or Shadow Warrior. I say these two =
games because when you run SETUP, in the Network Game options you can =
pick what address you want to use, then start the game so see if the =
computers find each other. If so, then your IPX protocols are working =
correctly.=20
2. If you pass test 1 above, make sure that your IPX network =
address is the same on every system you have on the LAN. I had =
initially set these as different, but this turned out to be a BAD thing. =
See, you ( at least I ) cannot specify which IPX address to use when =
launching a N2 LAN game. It takes the default, and looks for others on =
this address. If they aren't there, on the same address, it won't =
work.=20
=20
Upon further thought, your error sounds like you either do not =
have IPX installed, or it is not operating correctly. I am playing with =
mine now, to see what I have to do to get this error.
=20
Ok, played with it for a few, and here is what I got.
=20
1. Removed the IPX protocol, and received the same error =
message as you. The only other time I saw this error in N2 was when I =
was trying to run Kali for DOS, and hadn't loaded the required packet =
driver.
=20
I trust that your network is working properly? You can trade =
files, run programs through your network, etc?=20
=20
Check your network settings. Here is what I have loaded, and N2 =
works fine here.
