ipx over wifi

[tontod]

At a friends place last week, we tried playing some old games we used to play in college. 2 games - descent and death rally. We got it to run on our xp laptops, but when we tried to start a network game, it said ipx protocol wasnt found even when we both installed IPX under network connections/properties. We were connected using wifi. Are we out of luck, or is there some kind of workaround? I tried running in windows 95 compatibility mode, but that made no difference.

did you have software firewalls running?

Yes, we disabled them. We were able to play Starcraft using UDP.

Get a copy of MS Virtual PC or VMWare and run on real Win98.
