Re: HELP - Network options on old game.

Information:

Playing Red Alert 2, Version 1.00 (on both my PC and laptop).
Connected at 100mbps.

Now, this is the confusing part.

On the network options on the game, I have the following fields:

Network Card
(This is a scroll down field and there is no option. It just says 'IPX not available'.)

Socket number:
(input field)

Destination Network:
(input field - will only accept values in xx.xx.xx.xx format)

Help please. It says 'IPX not available' on both computers.

PS. I'm connected via a USB-->Ethernet adaptor on my computer - not necessarily a card, but I am connected via. a card on my laptop and it still says 'IPX not available' in the Network Card field.

The connection is definately working because I can send messages and files over it.

Help would be appreciated.
You need to install the IPX/SPX networking protocols.
What version of Windows are you running?
