Hi all,
I was trying to play Descent multiplayer, and it says an active IPX driver was not found. I installed IPX from the network connections page, and it now shows up. However, I still get the same message in the game. So even though I may now have an IPX connection, I don't have the driver. According to this, IPX should work in XP, but for me, the problem is getting the driver for it. Is there anyway or anywhere I can get an IPX driver for XP, that won't override anything such as TCP/IP?
Thanks, Jason
