In case you've missed the NFSC LAN Server Discussion @ our NFS Zone Messageboard then you should check it out. Covo2k and others came very close now, but it looks like without help of experienced reverse engineer we're stuck. The problem lies somewhere in private/public keys pairs and forcing the game to accept our keys instead of the EA's. This would probably involve some serious changes to the game files, which wasn't exactly what we'd like to do. In case you are able to help, please read entire thread about NFSC LAN Server @ our NFS Zone Messageboard. Thanx and happy new year!!!!!
