old hippy

g'day Nyarlathotep dune2 is up and running over the network...and I have learnt something along the way:D thanks for all your help..it's very much appreciated ;D cheers the old hippy

g'day do I instal NWlink IPX/SPX netbios compatible transport protocol? thanx for educating me ;D cheers old hippy one

g'day Nyarlathotep I tried as you suggested..no luck I have right clicked onto the icon you mentioned and it takes me to network conections it shows my dial up and lan..there is no add or protocol..just an icon for a new conection..which only gives me LAN or dial up options :- no options for IPS/SPX...This is xp connection wizard...is there another way to set up the above? cheers confused old hippy ???

um..ok this is gonna sound dumb...but what is ipx/spx protocol I set up network across two computers using the help wizard in xp (I am running xp home on both computers)and a cross over cable..I'm learning about puters as I go...So Im not sure if the protocol was set up or not..I am open to learning from some one who knows their way around computers cheers hippy one

Dear Nyarlathotep yep the network is working and I am able to play other games when i go to multiplay option on dune 2000 it only gives me either modem or nulmodem as choices...yet it talks about LAN in the book...I am not sure if I am missing something somewhere...mind you my kids figure I am missing something upstairs ;) cheers old hippy one

G'day I am hoping some one can advise me on what I need to do to set up dune 2000 across LAN I have dune 2000 instaled but it does not give me an option for LAN yet in the book it talks about playing over LAN...I hope some one can assist :-
