IPXWrapper is a wrapper library which transparently tunnels IPX packets over IP
|
|
|
|
|
using UDP. To use it, simply copy the four included DLL files to the directory
|
|
|
|
|
containing your legacy program.

If you are running Windows Vista or later and the game uses DirectPlay you may
|
|
|
|
|
also need to import directplay-win32.reg or directplay-win64.reg as appropriate.

The "wildcard" interface is used by default, this will send and receieve packets
|
|
|
|
|
on all available network interfaces and may cause problems if you share more
|
|
|
|
|
than one network with the other computers running IPXWrapper. To use a single
|
|
|
|
|
interface, run the ipxconfig program and select a different primary interface,
|
|
|
|
|
change which interfaces are enabled or pick a different interface in the options
|
|
|
|
|
of your program.

IPX protocol and vice-versa.
