INSTRUCTIONS:
=============

1) Start server. [There should only be one on one LAN.]

2) Start client on every pc which wants to partipicate in the LAN game.

3) Client should show up server's ip address

*BUG* Client sometimes doesn't get server ip. Restart client until it get's server's ip.  Server must have been started of course ;)


4) Press 'Use LAN Server'. Button should light up.

5) DO NOT CLOSE CLIENT SOFTWARE WHILE USING THE LAN SERVER!

6) Start the game.

7) Go to Play Online.

8) Create a new account. [use the same name as on EA to easier switch between LAN and the real EA server.]  This has to be done only once on each client.

*BUG* Server crashes if client tries to use name not registered in LAN server.  This bug wasn't there before, so I need some time to check what I have done wrong ;)


9) Create a new sub-account and play.

There is predefined room in ranked games, but don't forget that ranks still are not counted.  Head-to-head games should be fine.  Possibly, 4 player games should work.  Definetly still doesn't work with 3 player games.



HELP:
=====
1) Sometimes the Client will not detect the ip address.  Keep relaunching the program until it works.

2) If the Client does not function, you can perform its function manually.  You will need to add one line to...

	%WINDOWSFOLDER%\system32\drivers\etc\hosts

That line is...
	<ip address>  ps2nfs04.ea.com

Replace <ip address> with the ip address of the Server on the network.  After you are done with the LAN game, you will need to remove this line.
