I guess not and admit that I'm unsure how to set this up. This is the only game that I have a problem connecting to though if that helps.

Are you on a PAL system, or do you usually use PAL browsers etc?
I'll admit I've had issue with POD Speedzone before because the US edition is so locked to the PlanetWeb browser settings. Sometimes I've had to override my preferred modem settings (Dreamkey/Passport) with PlanetWeb just to get POD Speedzone to run online. If POD 2 Multiplayer Online is back online (The PAL version) then I'd advise that copy because nobody should have to suffer any aspect of PlanetWeb, not even it's settings XD

I am running the US version of POD Speedzone, right off the disc. I'll have to double check the browser settings, but I can connect to the internet using the web browser on the disc.

I was wondering, do I have to get someone to set up an account for me before I can connect or does the create account still work within the game?

I was using the US disc on real hardware too. What's your main browser disc (not the one built into Speedzone)? PlanetWeb or Dreamkey/Dream Passport?

Hey guys,

Is the issue with PAL vs NTSC gone?

Last week we played with different setups and we all had the same speed...

Hello, I have a problem in pod 2. I create an account, I log in and write an incorrect password.
What to do with it?

It looks like a mistyped password, sent you a pm.
