F1RS & Networking

2 posts by 2 people · 05 Jan 1998 - 07 Jan 1998

Hi, for those of you lucky enough to have a friend in your local area (no long distance charges) here's a trick for you to play over the modem!! First you need the microsoft plus pack, install it. Then in dial-up networking options you'll have the ability to act as a dial-up server. Then your friend only has to setup a dialup connection to your house, and you're all set to go play f1 racing like if you were on a network!! We did this succesfully at 14.400 bps and it was perfect! The one who dials must setup his connection by checking the IPX protocol (IPX protocol must also be installed in win95). Anyway, try it it's definetely worth a try!!

I try your suggested method but no luck. My friend and I both have MSplus installed. Can you specify the details, such as what the login in name and password in dial-up box, what options in control panel's networking and in dial-up networking so we have successful login? Thanks a lot -- Voodoo 3dfx games lover
