Nascar LAN problem

Could someone point me to information on setting up TCP/IP on a 3 computer LAN. When I try to run Nascar 3 (or any other TCP) game on my network the computer starts my dialup and locks up. All IPX games work fine. The LAN consists of 3 WIN 98 cpus, in the TCP/IP properties attached to my nic I have specified IP checked and 198.168.0.1 ... 2 ... 3 entered for IP addresses and 255.255.255.0 subnet mask. DNS Config: DNS enable checked Host & domain names DNS search order 198.168.0.1 198.168.0.2 198.168.0.3 Thanks for any help. Rich

It seems that you are making your 3 nodes, your DNS servers. Do you have a real DNS server or are you fudging this? You might want to try doing a LMHOSTS file instead. -- Header address intentionally scrambled to ward off the spamming hordes. cisko [AT] ix [DOT] netcom [DOT] com

Disable the DNS for the TCP/IP bound to your NIC I have a very similar situation here, three W98 PCs on a Peer>Peer LAN with TCP/IP as the protocol. Two of them also have TCP/IP dialup connections. Try disabling the DNS (not needed in a peer>peer setup) and see if that works. If not, email me and I can go through my setup in greater detail for you. hth, daxe -----------== Posted via Newsfeeds.Com, Uncensored Usenet News ==---------- http://www.newsfeeds.com The Largest Usenet Servers in the World! ------== Over 73,000 Newsgroups - Including Dedicated Binaries Servers ==-----
