I've installed the IPX protocol and now the LAN button comes up in Dune 2000. However the two computers can't see each other, basically I'm creating a new game on 1 pc and then on the second trying to see that game and it's not there. Does LMHOSTS have anything to do with this? The other thing is the IPX protocol has some setup stuff. I've just gone with the windows default, but it allows you to change 'Internal network number' which has defaulted to 00000000 and Frame type: which as defaulted to Auto Detect. Thanks for your help so far guys... it's so close to working. Cheers Nites
