My racing buddy and I run our own series via modem following the Winston Cup schedule. We've done this for the past couple years. When we got to Texas the track loads ok both sides of the connection but at his end he doesn't show up in the track? During the same connection we can go to a different track and all works fine. He dumped N2, reloaded everything and we still get the same results. I cant remember if I patched the AI from a DL of one of the web sites or not. Would that have any affect on the problem if we didn't have the same AI so to speak? We can both run it fine non modem. Yes we both are using legal software versions--Bush Expansion Pack and N2. Any help appreciated. Thanks R. Faust aka Xducer

: When we got to Texas the track loads ok both sides of the connection but : at his end he doesn't show up in the track? Are some of the tracks on the list Gray/Grey? I do not own N2, but in ICR2 there is a track limit that will make some of the tracks unselectable while playing over the modem. It is also in N1. This limit is 25. The track will still load and work on the one computer, but not on the other. I know N2 ups this limit, but I don't know to how much it does. Also, make sure that you both have the same tracks in the /TRACKS directory. If some of the tracks listed are grey, then count the number of grey tracks. Subtract the grey tracks from the total number of tracks in the /TRACKS directory. This should be the limit allowed over the modem. -- -------------------------------------
