LAN games in Dune 2000?

[NeoDevilbane]

Dune 2000 doesn't seem to let me play LAN games since I reinstalled it with XP. I just patched Dune 2000 as well, no dice. What do I do?

When I go to Multiplayer inside Dune 2000, I only get the options for "Internet, Null Modem, Practice." And there's a blank space between Internet and Null Modem where I suspect "LAN" should be.

What's the deal?

Have you installed the ipx/spx protocl in the network menu?

[NeoDevilbane]

Didn't know I needed to, but I just did... and it WORKS! Thank you, man.

Hello, I'm with a similar problem here... :/

I have the IPX/SPX installed, and appears the LAN button, I create the game but the other machine can't find me, and vice-versa.

We both have a XP machine, and we are in a TCP/IP LAN.

any ideas to make this work? I have the same problem in all IPX games, when the network works fine to anything, other games via TCP/IP inclued.

any tips to deal with that bad OS???

thanks,

Freddy

do you have a firewall installed, and what are the settings of your IPX protocol on both computers .. network en encapsulation. . ?

[hajas]

not in each machine.

we are in a NT network here in my work, and there have a firewall.

our IPX config is default, #00000000 and Automatic Detect.

I already tried to put other number to all machines, and not work.

any IPX game work in LAN here. but in win98 work FINE!

it's a XP problem, not a Dune 2000 problem, but maybe you know how to fix that.

thanks,

Freddy

To be hounest I am not shure if trying to circumvent that is a smart thing to do.

Which are the other IPX games you have tried .. . is by any change C&C [ pre-Generals ] one of them ?

[hajas]

we had PII with win98, and we play Need For Speed 2 via IPX.

they trade our machines for PIV (finally!) with XP, and anything with IPX stop working... :(

well, I'm more convinded in never install that crap in my home.

how to install/enable IPX protocol (for LAN games?

[gryphon]

if all IPX related games arn't working it could be they are blocked by your administrator.

In an unmodded domain [ using WinXP ] I have no problems with IPX realted games or applications.
