When I setup and click Game Setup, and then game type, and switch to Network. After click connect, it says 'No services found'. What does this mean?

You can play only on LAN. When you have more computers/players on LAN, one creates server and others can join and play multiplayer. It's like forever when I last played NFS on LAN and I'm not sure if it uses TCP/IP or IPX protocol.

Requests are also possible... /msg kixs

Writing it down here in case somone's searching because there are only 2 results in Google about this message. Original NFS2 only supports IPX protocol (which is bizarre because NFS1SE does support TCP). NFS2SE doesn't have TCP support out of the box either but it got an official patch that adds it: https://ag.ru/games/need-for-speed-ii-se/patches/6996 (the only place I could find this patch, holy crap). So either install the patch, add IPX protocol to your adapter or use IPX wrapper.

You can now race with friends over Internet with IPX tunneling.
I updated WIPXEMU to support Need for Speed 2/3/4.
