Hi Alexander, Good to see you back in GSoc. I can't comment on IE / control panel as I don't know much about it but I will comment to another small part.

It should be possible to implement IPX over TCP but when you do this, the other side also needs to wrap IPX in a TCP packet. (there are various user space tools I believe which can do this). IPX can be used without root permissions if you use posix file capabilities to enable raw sockets on wineserver. I experimented with this a long time ago and I wasn't able to get it working at that time but this should somehow work. Roderick
