g'day
just wondering if any of the really clever people here have got this to work
and if so could you possibly share you wisdom with me (although i am
probably not worthy :) )
i have just got a new system and my mate next door wants to play over a home
network setup but we cant figure it out ?
all help accepted greatfully
thanx for listening
gadget
a LONG time ago i got it to run using an add-on program called gpx or
something. what i do remember is running head to head over a lan was
unplayable. We would have extemely high processer occupation & get out of
synch often.

If he's next door, you're best to use a LAN cable or something (is there a maximum length those cables can be?) for a direct connection. If you're thinking about trying it over the
net, don't bother. It's no good. Also, download GPxPatch, which is available from www.xs4all.nl/~rsdi . I think this helps for network play. I've only tried it on a LAN, and it
worked great for me. Just make sure that both copies of GP3-2000 are *identical*.

thanks for the reply, what we are trying to do is over a lan connection and
if its too far away we would just move 1 of the computers, we have played
midtown madness 2 over the fence (30metre cable)
so what options for lan play as we cannot get it to work at all, the host
machine will come up to a screen with info on it waiting for the other
player but the other machine just cant find the link ??
thanks again

If one is patched with something the other doesn't have, it probably won't work.
Try going into the GP3-2000 multiplayer screen, making sure one machine is on host, the other is on join, and that it's "2 players" selected. Make sure that TCP/IP is the selected
network, and check both of your IP addresses under the settings screen. If it still won't work, then I'm really not sure....
