When i go to set up the network, it says IPX not availble, and
provides no other options.  The box says that multiplayer requires TCP/
IP or IPX compliant network.  My network is TCP/IP compliant.

Anyone know how to get a local network multiplayer game working?

thanks regardless

On my manual it says IPX is required for Local Area Network. That means
playing locally on a network.(LAN)
TCP/IP is meant for playing on the Internet.

Thanks again Joe.

I have enabled IPX, and can now select the NIC, but with two computers
so enabled on the network, neither side recognizes that there is
another computer running the game, so i cannot select a game to join,
and cannot start a game (asks 'only one player?) and click go.

Doesn't seem to be anything definitive in the manual about setting up
LAN games.

Anything that will point me in the right direction?
