ONe of my previous four or so messages was too big in size but I'm not sure
which one it was. I think it was this one, so I'm sending it once again. I
never read my own messages that come back to me - sorry for that, maybe you
will see it twice. This time trimmed though. :-)

Hi,
yeah, I see, manuals are often boring and they just take your time when
you didn't get to know anything you hadn't already expected or knew so
they just bother, but it's also often useful to read them when there is an
area you're not perfectly familiar with. :-)
You know, the developers just put their iefforts into establishing a
clear, self-explanatory and friendly documentation when noone reads it.
:-D
This particular thing is also explained in the manual. The Topspeed
program itself acts just as a client. The server is automatically
established on the hoster's computer by the game. So the only thing you
have to do is tell the game to host a new game from the multiplayer menu,
and then get to know your ip (manual tells you how) and let other
potential players know it. Then they will put the ip into their server
selector tool and when they enter join an internet game from the menu
later, the game just automatically searches for the ip or hostname entered
in the serverselector. If it finds the running server and manages to
conect to it successfully, all communication between your client and the
hoster's server is handled by the game and the game play is interpreted to
you from your own point of view by the copy of Topspeed running on your
(player's) computer so smoothly and nicely that I've hardly seen any other
audio multiplayer game work as well as Top Speed (perhaps just
Audioquake).
HOpe this explains enough and it doesn't sound too confused! :-)))
Best wishes,
Lukas
