If anyone is interested? I have a system that I can use so it would be the same HGW server that we all remember.
Does anyone came here anymore?BTW: here's my TwitchTV URL where I stream at, I may do some racing streams over the next few days.. I usually reserve Saturdays for playing guitar and singing old country and rock songs etc etc.

Glad to see you are alive and well! As far as 2003, I know I have 2 discs somewhere, but setting all that up on my racing rig would be a bit of a hassle at this point. I am so into Iracing now. I think it would also promote bad technique with the hi grip settings.
That said, I miss the fun we had, and the great group of people that used to all gather here. If you do get a huge return, I may reconsider.

I have a new system that can be used as a server (it's the wifes old system, the pwr supply died on the old server). I pulled the hard drive out that had all the server info and put it into the new system, it started fine and I was able to see the drive and N2K3 Server folder. The NR2003 exe won't start (even the no-cd exe) because there's no info in the registry, SO, before I try to re-install I'm going to try manually inserting the info (yes, I have the knowledge to do that). I did start the "server.exe" file and that ran fine, it's really the only one I use on the server.
I just need to get the system info into the server txt file and double check the router forwarding, the port numbers would be the same but I also have to get my IP in place. I'll make sure I can connect before I send out a mass email on it and also have the other on TeamSpeak 3 make sure they can connect. I would start off using default tracks and default game (the cup series) but with all the added HGW goodies for grip and weather.

OOPS! I guess the server was down for a few hours. The wife had the screen saver on and it got put into standby mode so no connection. I took the screen saver off already and I'm checking the setting to make sure the comp doesn't go into standby mode again.
BUT
It's running now.

I fixed a few things on the server and over the next week will tweek the AI. I can remove them if I need to but for now anyone getting on won't be alone.

I'll shut the server down around Midnight and put it back online around 10 - 11am each day. That means it'll be up and running between (around) 11am to 12 or 1 am CST.

NOTE: if you sign up (or re-signup) I'll approve as soon as I see it, trouble is, I may forget to check it so it may run from a few days to a few weeks before I see. I just approved 2 people so the slate is clear for now.

In the past month only 3 people have got on, and not at the same time. No sense in using the power needlessly so if a group wants to do some racing, let me know on Teamspeak, just make sure we know why your getting on (teamspeak) so we don't ban you right away. some have got on (teamspeak) to just act stupid so we learned to ban the idiots fast.

I don't check in here that often these days, decided to today to see if there were any comments what with the real NASCAR using the iRacing crap on TV now due to the virus. When I put the mass emails out a few months ago it was as an experiment to see if, even a small group, people may start to race there (HGW SERVER) again. I had it up for 2 or 3 months (maybe longer) and the most I saw on there (after the first few days) was like 2 - 4 people per week, that told me no one was interested.
I can put it back up (online) at any time if there's a reason to, but I won't do it if only 1 or 2 people show up at different times each week, it's just not worth the time and cost to do that. I may be old, but old don't mean stupid.

Just for the heck of it I tried to see if the server was still working so I set all the port forwarding stuff and started it and BOOM, like a charm.
I've been running a few races with the custom AI I did and wow, did that bring back some memories, was a blast from the past. It does work fine but I don't plan on doing a 24/7 again unless there a reason too.
I was thinking of trying NASCAR 21: Ignition but decided to wait, glad I did, it looks like they really botched it this time, it sucks.
