NR2002 Servers and LANs

Here's what I want to do. I have 2 PC's, my regular racing box and my old PC I use as an occasional server. When practising GPL against the AI I use my server box to host a local race on my LAN. This moves all the AI processing to the server box giving me rock solid framerates on my race box. I want to do the same thing for NR2002. I can get it to work by running the dedicated server on my server box. I can join the race as a local race. Unfortunately the race also appears on Sierra which I don't want. Is there any way to prevent a dedicated server race from appearing on the Sierra race list? Obviously I can create a password and limit the number of players to 1 to prevent others joining in but it seems pointless to have it listed on Sierra too.

I believe John Simmons' DeMons tool has a checkbox for this ? Beers and cheers (uncle) Goy http://www.theuspits.com http://www.teammirage.com "A man is only as old as the woman he feels........" --Groucho Marx--

You can also change this line in your core.ini from 1 to 0: to_sierra=1 (1 = Sierra; 0 = IP only) On Sun, 28 Apr 2002 10:48:20 +0100, "Phil Lee" <[email hidden]> wrote:
