How does a newbie race N4 online?

I've never raced online before, although I've consistently been driving against the AI since N1. I haven't got a clue how to get started racing online. Can anyone help me to get started? Thanks Brian

Have you tried clicking on the multiplayer and then going from there?

=================== Dwayne =================== "I told him he was number 1" (Dale Earnhardt) I will miss you Dale

Yes, but when I click join nothing really happens. My log-in is successful, but there seems to be no races to join. Brian "Dwayne" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

If you have multiple ethernet cards, or multiple IP addresses, on that PC you need the beta patch that will allow you to connect. I don't have the link for the patch available at the momemt. If your using cable/adsl, make sure the multiplayer/configure option has "Get IP addresses another way" checked. When logging into Sierra.com, make sure the IP address you want to "connect via" is selected. That should at least get you races showing up (even without the patch). Jason. Brian Carabee wrote:

Up near the top is a Sierra logo. You have to click on that... it says something like: Race on Sierra.com then you will get to choose between an east coast server(New York) or a West Coast Server(San Jose) Each of those have several different arenas but the 1st on either will be the busiest with the most races. Then you have to choose a race and here it can be confusing as well. 1st you must choose a race that is not password protected.(look at the far left, 2nd column. If there is a + sign, it has a password) Then if you are new, you can't join races that have rankings that limit the beginers..so any race that has 1-10 or 2 on up will be off limits until you get the necessary experience. (look about the center of the line, just before the race distance I think) dave henrie "Brian Carabee" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:0tal6.749$[email hidden]... > Yes, but when I click join nothing really happens.

Hmm... I never seem to get to the point where I can choose servers. I'll try again tonight and then report back precisely what happens. Thanks for the advice. Brian "Dave Henrie" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:Ywcl6.459042$[email hidden]...
