I am running:
PIII 450
ASUS P3V4X with latest VIA 4-in-1
256 Mb RAM
ASUS TNT2 Pro 32Mb (running latest 6.31 WHQL)
Creative PCI-128
NFS5 updated to ver 3.5
DirectX 8.0 Beta (it does the exactly the same error on my friends PC who has DX7.0)

I try and play the game networked or even networked with just me in it, get the error message.
All single player games work perfect.

OP
Still got me bamboozled. I have tried both TCP/IP and IPX lan games. It goes into the game does the 3,2,1 and bang back to Windows invalid shape error.
I am running an RTL8029 on a 10baseT network (into 16 port hub, 192.168.0.1 internet sharing), with an RTL8139 10/100 crossover with the second house PC(192.168.1.1). I have tried running it over both segments.
There are head shaped dents all over my wall.

Hi Johnny,
our network consists of Win95, Win98 and Win2000 users, and Realtek network cards are mainly used. We´ve had some problems, UNTIL WE ALL updated our network drivers with the newest (Realtek) drivers. Since then, everything worked fine!
