Carmageddon 2: no networking?

[Down8 0]

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,

PS: I'm p[osting this to "Games" and "Networking"
