Hi, IPX is an alternative network layer protocol (from Novell) to IP and has nothing to do with TCP so I doubt if that is your problem. The default ipx.conf will probably only work if you have a Novell server already on your network. Do you have any ipx interfaces listed when you use ifconfig after running /etc/init.d/ipx? If not you can probably set up an IPX alias on your ethernet interface (like eth0:1) manually using ipx_interface. I'm not sure what the proper way to pick IPX network addresses is though so maybe someone else knows.
If your only need for IPX is to play games though I'd forget about all the above and try using ipxtunnel. It's explained in section 15 of the linux IPX howto at http://www.ibiblio.org/mdw/HOWTO/IPX-HOWTO.html and seems to be a much simpler method. I can't find any debs for it but it is a tiny source package and should be a quick compile. ~Scott On January 4, 2003 11:52 am, Michael Buckley wrote: > It seems to be in there. > Output from lsmod: > ipx 15636 1 > > Could it be that it's not using both ipx and tcp at the same time? > > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: S�bastien_Taylor <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Date: Sat, 4 Jan 2003 01:26:53 -0700 > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Re: (clug-talk) ipx > > > Can you do an lsmod to make sure the ipx module is loaded? > > > > Le Samedi, 4 janv 2003, � 00:34 Canada/Mountain, Michael Buckley a > > > > �crit : > > > I'm trying to play Red Alert 2 on my Debian box.
