Lord_Of_The_9 0 Posted March 3, 2002 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 Lord_Of_The_9 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rekrul 7 Posted March 3, 2002 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. -Rekrul Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LuD 0 Posted March 6, 2002 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Reverend L3 0 Posted March 6, 2002 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Maddock 0 Posted March 6, 2002 Chill Rev, It's not supposed to be a replacement for swearing. It's like saying "you're fresh out of luck" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Reverend L3 0 Posted March 6, 2002 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lunch 0 Posted March 7, 2002 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) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
