The “Need for Speed” series is an excellent racing series, and the Underground series really takes it up a notch. This guide will show you how to play Need for Speed Underground 2 online using Tunngle. However, the same methods will work with Hamachi so I will write the instructions for both below. I have written this because the guides existing on the Internet is sort of lousy, so I decided to make my own.
How to Play Online [Using Tunngle or Hamachi]
1) Update game to latest version. Go to www.filefront.com for the official patches. 2) Go to the need for speed folder and edit server.cfg with notepad. The contents will look like mine below:
# # The server sends a ping message to the client every PINGTIME seconds # and the client is expected to respond within PINGWAIT seconds or # the server considers the connection to be dead and the client is # logged out. # PINGTIME=20 PINGWAIT=30 # # A client can only be idle for TIMEIDLE minutes before it is # automatically logged out. Even if a client is not idle it can # only be connected for a maximum of TIMEMAXM minutes. # Either/Both values can be set to 0 to mean that the server will # not timeout the client. # TIMEIDLE=0 TIMEMAXM=0 # # Limits how many times per second the LAN server will service requests. # Lowering this number will increase game performance for slower computers # at the expense of sluggish response time from the server. Valid range is # 1-1000. # LAN_THROTTLE=30 ##———————————————————————— ## DO NOT CHANGE ANYTHING BELOW HERE ##———————————————————————— ACCOUNT=1 MASTER=1 SLAVE=1 REDIR=1 # # This line allows the server to determine on what interface to listen for # connections. It can be any publicly routable IP address (this is the case # even if the host is on a LAN that is isolated from the Internet). There is # no communication attempted with the IP address listed here. # ADDR=%%bind(“159.153.253.82”)
3) Now put a # sign in front of the last line so it looks like this:
#ADDR=%%bind(“159.153.253.82”)
4) Save the file and start the game! Host the game in hamachi or tunngle, and your friends will see it!

Did you port forward udp 11155?
how can i find current online players for nfsu2
Use tunngle to find them or hamachi or gameranger.
I have a problem like that, that multiplayer into a manner tunngle-el is with who I can play and is with who no. the occupant a screen freezes up. what may be the problem?
Could be lag. Make sure the host port forwarded udp 11155.
Hey man , when i go to lan it goes and i can join a server but when i press loby it says i cannot access it why ?
Are you running the game as admin? See the NFSU 2 tutorial video.
These are softwares used to connect games online through LAN you just have to make a free account there.
Correct, there are lots of VPN programs like this.
GUYS my network
id- racer 1998
password-123456

Program files.

Something like that.
where do i write “C:\program files\EA\need for speed underground 2”

No. Right click your nfs underground 2 shortcut, go to properties, and then go to find target. There is your folder.

help please!!!
i dont have a nfsu2 shortcut
i need to find the nfsu2 folder

How about you reinstall the game? Part of the wizard will ask you where do you want to install your game.
Update- I am going to make a timeless guide video for PC gaming. Thanks for the idea. Video to be up within a day.
New video:
you fucking asshole….. this aint workin,,, bloody son of a bitch!!!
Actually, it does because I just did it last night. Are you editing the .cfg file as administrator?
come in my hamachi network : Tarun_NFSU2_server
password: 123
am heii I just wanna now how can I play with hamachi couse its no people in there I dont have any idea someone can tell me please
Same idea. Good luck finding a hamachi network.
hi,
i have been playing this game for last 2 years. now i wanna play it online . plz help me guys . anybody can ! plz
just tell me how to play it online . really got riled up !
Read the tutorial again and again. Watch the video.
Yes it`s possible . More than nfs un2 , you can play more game`s in lan . Great program 🙂
Hello.
Could you please tell me if you could do something like this with NFS:Underground cause i would really try to play it with some of my friends.
Thx
If it has LAN, then yes.
hi ! i’ve done everything you said
now i can even see and join a server
but i cant see any games !!? Even though it say : 3 games created… i cant see anyone of those 3.
what might be the problem ? Help please ! 🙂
Tell the host to open his ports.
Well the stupid thing is that it hasn’t. Well nvm I also thought that NFS:Underground2 doesnt have LAN when i posted my first comment.
well i’ve done all like it’s said but nothing.. i can’t see may budy’s server orhe can’t see mine what should i do, i used hamachi
Hamachi can be known to give problems. Use tunngle instead. Perhaps its a port forward issue as well.
Yeah i cant join to my buddy because i using Modem for my Computer.
I have turn on the internet and i open the NFSU2 games. I online but the games says : You have lost your connection to EA server.Please make sure your network adaptor and network cable are plugged in.Would you like to reconnect
I press RETRY button and she says again but how it works?
Follow the tutorial, I don’t know any other way, sorry.
Hay, if that message comes up u need to run it as Administrator…should fix problem
Thanks so much, it works 😉
tnx, thats work 4 me 😉
can I play direct PC to PC using utp cross cable?
Of course. Good luck, and if you get stuck, use google.

@Mirko_KO: There is a software called NFS:U Lan (http://www.nfscars.net/file/view/underground/5186.aspx) you can use it to play NFS Underground, you click on Online in the game menu but it will connect to your own server.
Have fun.
Hello, there is a problem
first, i’ve patched the game, its version 1.2 right now
then i have cracked the game
i have overwritten the server.cfg which looks like this: http://www.ulozisko.sk/obrazky/313662/dpccccccccccccc.jpg right now (i downloaded it from a site because i didn’t want to do something wrong xD).
i did the same stuff as written here above with his PC too.
we are using hamachi
i have win7 ultimate edition 64bit , he has win xp professional..
i even tried to run the game as administrator, to switch off firewall.. nothing happens, i can’t find him and he can’t find me in the game. i didn’t find out what is wrong, so i am asking if you can help me
Thanks for reading.
Did you block out the IP address? I don’t know what is wrong right now. Do your other games work fine in hamachi?
Hmm, strange 😀 today we tried to play it again, and succesful.. . dont know where the problem was, anyway thanks 🙂
I did exactly how the guide says, but it is pointless, because i cant see what my friend hosts, or he cant see what i am hosting… we both have windows xp professional 😐 Could somebody help?:(
Where are you hosting the game at? Ports are open?

I tried with hamachi,with pLan,with hamachi and pLan,with the last line of server.cfg,without this…Please,help.
I don’t get it. I’ve had it working fine with hamachi, and now tunngle. All I did was edit the server.cfg file. Are we sure your ports are open? Maybe firewall or antivirus messing with your network.
Hey There versatile … great guide but iam having a little problem . i can see the servers that other people host… but i cant access them .. i double click the server and it just keeps saying connecting to lobby and nothing happens … plus no one can see the server that i host !!

“You have lost your connection to EA server.Please make sure your network adaptor and network cable are plugged in.”
so wht should i do.. ???
Who is hosting? Create the config file as admin.
right click on your nfsu2 and go to properties and to compatibility mode and then you enable run program as administrator.
All was OK in tunngle but suddenly I can’t create or join. EA cable lost connection etc. Not even in real LAN.
Oh, I just saw it. Sorry everything is OK now 🙂
yo no me puedo conectar a internet en nfsu2
Port forward udp 11155.
when i installed the patch and i insert the cd rom it says not found

This is for LAN not ONLINE !! I need it for ONLINE 😀
You can extend LAN Online!

Who is hosting? They know how to host and open ports?
When I use a patch I can’t play NFSU2 anymore!
What version are the other gamers using?
is it really necessary to update because it seams that the game crashes and the own crack of the game cant open it anymore . This is very important (help)
it would have been great if someone could give me the NFSU2 torrent and the apropriate patch for that torrent . anyway thanks !!
If you don’t want to update the game that is fine.
i have downloaded gameranger but when i clck on the existing account they ask me to enter email and password when i entered it they say that this account is not found but at the same time i am logged in at facebook with the same account… what can i do now??
