I just picked up a [legal] copy of Carmageddon 2, and it runs fine, but the networking doesn't seem to work. When ever I host a game, it just says it is waiting for other players, and never goes anywhere. I can go back to the menu, but nothing ever happens. This happens on both open and closed games.

I did install IPX, and nothing changed. My friend has WinME, and he gets the same thing.

Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks,

Sorry, not an answer to your question.
I can't even try this out for you as Carmageddon2 refuses point blank to install under Windows2000.
Well it installs, but when I try and run it I'm told 'Not supported under WindowsNT' and then it dumps me back to the desktop.
Anyway, Carmageddon TDR2000 was released last week, gonna get it at last tomorrow, hopefull wont be any issues here.
How did you get Carm2 running under Win2k out of interest?

I had no promlems installing and running it. It worked fine the first time, every time. just threw in the disk.

I haven't really done anything to tweak my system, so I guess I just got lucky.
