My husband and I are trying to play Warcraft II, which we haven't done in about 6 years. We share the same IP address (we have a cable router/hub) so we can not use Battle.net.
My computer is a Dell Pentium II 2 ghz 512 DDR2 RAM with Windows XP Office SS2. I have installed the drivers for a IPX connection on my computer. It seems to be working. It will allow me to create a game,etc.
The problem occurs with my husbands computer. He just built a new comp and I am not sure what the hard specs are, but I know that it is running Windows XP 64-bit. He downloads the IPX drivers (I think they are drivers-Iam not sure if you would call them that or just protocal) and it shows them as being there, but then when he tries to access the connection it says that there is now IPX connection detected.
We have a firewall, but have disabled and that hasn't helped.
Someone told me that IPX technology is just too old to work with a 64-bit operating system. Does anyone know if this is true or can anyone offer any advice?
