I've received a package called DOOMSER.ZIP which includes files that will supposedly allow me to play Doom over a serial (null-modem) cable. Included are PDETHER, ETHERSL, LSL, IPXODI, and maybe some other files... However, I tried this out at my friend's place, had the null modem hooked up to COM2 on both machines (and yes we specified COM2 and the correct IRQ settings), however, when we try to run NetDOOM, the program just exits after it says "Looking for players".. I noticed that both machines had the same network identifier.. Is this a problem ? If so, how can I correct it? (I really know very little about networks).. Thanks in advance... ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Cameron Smith Hamilton, Ontario, Canada Internet: u931...@muss.cis.mcmaster.ca "Sir, I protest ...

I've tried this using a real modem connect, and then running the aforementioned drivers, and it gets all the way to Found a player! Found a player! Then the screen goes blank and it locks up. Oh well, whens 1.2 coming out again? -- Leo Comitale...........................comital@ecf.utoronto.ca............. University Of Toronto..(GO LEAFS)......comital@ugsparc0.eecg.utoronto.ca...
