Link 2 Mame Computers for Head to Head Rush 2049 Racing

[Zeosstud]

Hello,
        Curious if anyone has done this.. I know you have to change the cabinet id's so they are not the same, my question is, at this point do you simply make a crossover network cable and plug the 2 computers together?  I finally have a couple machines that will play the game well enough that I thought this would be fun to try, hoping others may have done the same.. I have gotten into the test menu of the game, when I goto the Network tests, does not matter if I have a network cable actually plugged in or not, the testing cable thing says OK, did not know if that really matters or not. if anyone has tips to share or can just confirm it does not work, kindly let me know.

I have not had any luck..
First PC Settings
IP: 192.168.0.1
SUBNET: 255.255.255.0
Cabinet ID 1

Second PC Settings
IP: 192.168.0.2
SUBNET: 255.255.255.0
Cabinet ID 2

Made sure I brought up 1st PC and got it going, then brought up 2nd PC..  No Luck..

Open to suggestions if there are any!!

The only authentic arcade machine I own happens to be one of these so if having a look in the service menu for any useful information would help please say so.
I'm not familiar with the networking aspect of them but it might be worth a shot if no one else can help out.

Thanks for the offer.. My guess is that if noone has responded here by now, it just does not work, and that makes sense.. I used to have a Rush 2049 in my basement, it was really nice, restored it well. Hope your still enjoying yours!!
