Ipx/spx networking
Is there a way to make ipx/spx protocal for a network work on windows xp? I have an older game id like to play over my network; it only can use ipx protcal not IP. I followed the instructions on help and support and it said it installed it but when i entered the game The netowork game option is hidden. In the game's manual it says it would only be hidden if the game doesnt detect the appropriate drivers for ipx/spx. Anybody have a suggestion? I really appreciate it.

To enable file and print sharing on the IPX/SPX protocol
Only steps 1-6 should be necessary to actually install the IPX/SPX protocol under Windows XP. You should not need to unbind File and Printer Sharing from TCP/IP.

The version of the game may not be compatible with XP. It sounds like you've correctly installed IPX/SPX support, and the game still doesn't recognize that it's present.
Is there a newer version of the game available?

" IPX included with XP is not so compatible, go on NOVELL web site, download and install Novell client for windows XP, the IPX protocol in this package is more compatible.
worked for me."
