Re: Need help with playing a game using IPX

Ahh... Theme Hospital. That DOS game brings back memories. Good ol' "Inflated Head" syndrome.

One of the things you will need to do is install NWLink to get IPX support going. To do this, please following the following instructions:

Go to Start -> Control Panel -> Network Connections (classic view). Right-click Hamachi and select Properties. In the Hamachi Properties window, press Install.... Highlight Protocol and press Add.... Highlight in the left-side selection window Microsoft, and in the right-side selection window NWLink IPX/SPX/NetBIOS Compatible Transport Protocol and press OK.

That should set up basic "emulated" IPX. Let's see if Theme Hospital and Hamachi work with this.
