Playing flashpoint over an ipx/spx network

[Lord_Of_The_9 0]

Hi,

I have an Ipx/spx network at home and have tried setting up flaspoint games over it. I know it is working properly because i play Age of Conquerors on it all the time. I was wondering if this was possible to do? In the readme it says that any 100% Microsoft Directplay network is fine and i am pretty sure that mine is one.

Thanks for any help

Uhm, well OFP runs on IP and use UDP packets so unless you get some program to wrap the IP packets in an IPX header (wich will cause some latency) you're boned AFAICS. On the other hand I don't know didley about IPX.

Well, whatever OS you're using, I hope to GOD that you have the TCP/IP protocols installed... If not, the game won't work in multiplayer... And quite frankly, you wouldn't be on the internet either.

Check to make sure TCP/IP is installed under your network properties, and if it is, you should easily be able to host a game on one machine, then EASILY join it with the other.

I play LAN here at my house a little too much.

Heh. "You're boned?" Is that some sort of replacement for the very ubiquitous, obscene and vulgar, F word? Heh. Not that you offended my very insensitive sensibilities, but that isn't much better. In fact, when you say that, I think of the obscene act itself. That's like instead of saying the S word, I use poop or fecies. Now which one is nicer? I will let you be the judge.

Chill Rev, It's not supposed to be a replacement for swearing. It's like saying "you're fresh out of luck"

Heh. I'm like ice.

I just thought it was an interesting choice of words, thats all. I wasn't offended in the least. I did find it quite humourous though.

The wierdest variant of the "you have been f****" theme

has to be "Lo, thou hast been sodomized", dont remember where i read it though, (hope i dont offend anybody by this)
