Questions about Networking

Here's a shot of what I setup over the weekend.

I setup a P-4 3.06 with two PCI vidcards, as a sideview computer (two left-most monitors) and had no problems. The right monitor shows Left/Front View and the left shows Left View.

A friend brought his computer and we setup a multiplayer session.  I also added my second computer to the session as an observer so I could see him on my second machine.

Then the wierdest thing happened and I'm having a hard time describing it.  The second computers view would correspond to my aircrafts position, but from that view, I could see my own aircraft as if it were another aircraft.  As I drove around it, the orientation of the views stayed correct with my aircraft position, but I could see my aircraft turning on the yaw axis and not actually moving with me.

In addition, the second computer would not place my friends aircraft in the correct place. I could see him on the runway on my main view. Then I would turn so I could see him in my side view and he'd be on the dirt.

Other than that, everything worked fine.

If you can actually understand the goobly-goop I just wrote, are there any solutions?

Thanks,

Joe

They both will work perfectly, until you open windows.
