[garkon]

Just hoping someone can gimme a link, cuz i've been searching, and i'm not coming up with any downloads. Been looking for like half an hour.

Wrong forum. Oh, and the IPX protocol comes with Windows.

 

[xtknight]

Same place you downloaded the TCP protocol.

What OS?

If you're using any version of Windows it's included...

Viper GTS

IPX doesn't exist anymore. We killed it in 1999.

Right-click the adapter you want to install it on and go to properties, click install, choose protocol, click add and you should have the option to install it from a list there.

This is on XP, BTW.

Let's hope. I did a consult job a couple of years ago, and this (ahem) network was plagued with it. Nothing really relied on IPX/SPX, but the nimrods were having trouble connecting to a server so they figured the more protocols, the merrier

I've seen that before too. Blew my mind when EVERY conceivable protocol was installed on EVERY system in the office. I don't know how much performance of stability would be affected, but I still systemically cleaned each unit up.

You can get it at CompUSA next to the token ring PC-BUS cards and the NetBeui protocol.

Why on *earth* would you want to go near SPX/IPX?

Starcraft. LOL KEKEKEKE ^_^

OP: Network connections->Local Area Connection->Properties, under General hit Install, Protocol, IPX should be in that list.

Are those token ring cards 4 or 16 megabit and do they support type-1 cabling?

I sure hope so.

I sure hope so.

Also, do they require a 20amp circuit or will a 15 do?

That was my philosophy, back in 98, when I was trying to get my 486 and PII 266 to talk over a crossover cable.

Damn you windows 9x and your finicky networking.

The job that I left a couple of years ago had type 1 token ring still being used at most of their sites. I was present when they lifted the floor tiles in the computer room and beheld the sight of every networking tecnology since the 60s buried under the floor structure. (the cabling was almost up to the tiles).

It was scary.
