don't use dos quake get winquake or glquake
with a tnt2 you should be running glquake anyhow

winquake and glquake are both win32 programs
and both don't need any external batch files like q95 to load network
drivers.

also try updating your tnt2 drivers www.nvidia.com
for the latest detonator reference drivers.

i seem to remember some problems with the via chipset
try the nivdia newsgroup you'll find for info there re the via chipset
