How can I do this?

[Airdale]

My brother and I want to race each other in NR2003. We both have the game, same versions etc. , he lives 15mins from me and we both have good internet connections. How can we race together? We tried starting a server in the game and trying to connect to each other, no luck.

Are you behind a router ? are you hosting the race ? or vice versa , all you need to do is go into the router settings and forward the correct ports (look at the nr203 server txt file for them)to the computer hosting the race which will be lan ip 192.168.1.100 or something close to that ,not the wan ip (which is the main ip coming from your ip provider) and then all he or you have to do is send the other one the wan ip and then just enter that into the ip address section inside the multiplayer join tab and then hit start and you should be good to go , anybody correct me if Im wrong , but i think that's right , its been a while since i raced direct ip connect .

me and my brother race each other. we have had up to 5 people race on our connection here out our house, and the neighborhood. Download himachi and make that the allotted server to allow people into your room. I think ever since the servers went down way back when, the game ID, and seriel codes mean nothing.

Once you download himachi, have whoever you want to race download it too, and then create the server and have them sign in, and then it will show up as a LAN line connection. hope that makes sense. works like a charm for us.

so in other words himachi makes it as if your brother was on your connection at your house. if he was at your house on the same router, you wouldnt even need internet to play, just a router. this makes him be on your lan connection in a way

hope that helps!
