Starcraft

I don't think that this fits in any other forums, so I'll post it here. I just installed Starcraft on my XP laptop. I am going home this weekend and want to network a game of it with my little brother. However, I discovered that the only network game option Starcraft is showing is IPX. Windows XP does not have IPX (my family's computer is running Win98 so there is no problem three). Is there any way for me to network the game?

BTW, I haven't tried anything yet, so I may just have overlooked something.

Try to connect to battle.net to get the newest patch, or just download it from blizzard. That will give you some extra multiplayer game optiongs (such as TCP/IP)

Yeah, as Joemonkey said, all you need is the new patch on all the computers, and it should work fine.

Thanks people. Now that I think about it, I only checked out the mulitplayer connections listing in the game BEFORE I applied the latest patch, so that's probably why TCP/IP wasn't there. I should have known this, but I haven't played Starcraft for at least a year or so, and haven't networked a game in four.

Thanks for the input.
