 Instructions
--------------

1) Start the server somewhere on LAN.

2) Start the client on each PC which wants to use the LAN Server.

3) Click 'find local servers' to find local servers or click 'add server'
   and write server ip/domainname in  the edit field and click 'ok'.

4) Select server in list.

5) Click 'Use Server'.

6) The client will try to connect to server to ensure server is alive.
   If all is ok all buttons will grey out and the 'Use Server' button will be active.
   Now you can start NFS Underground or switch to it, if it was already running and go online.

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

8) Create new subaccount and play.

To use EA's normal server click again the 'Use Server' button and it will disable the LAN server and all buttons will light back again.
