Introduction
|
||||
------------
|
||||
|
||||
IPXWrapper allows using software that needs IPX/SPX support on recent versions
|
||||
of Windows which no longer support it.
|
||||
|
||||
Quick start
|
||||
-----------
|
||||
|
||||
Copy the four included DLL files to the directory containing the program that
|
||||
needs it and run directplay-win32.reg or directplay-win64.reg, depending whether
|
||||
you are running 32-bit or 64-bit Windows.
|
||||
|
||||
Choosing network interfaces
|
||||
---------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
By default, IPXWrapper will operate on all network interfaces in the system,
|
||||
which may not work correctly if you share more than one network with any other
|
||||
systems running IPXWrapper.
|
||||
|
||||
To instead use a single network interface, change the "Primary interface" to
|
||||
the interface you want to use. Some software may also require you to select the
|
||||
interface in question inside it. Disabling all other interfaces may make this
|
||||
easier.
|
||||
|
||||
Using the real IPX protocol
|
||||
---------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
If your software needs to send/receive real IPX frames, for example because it
|
||||
talks to an old piece of equipment that only understands IPX, install WinPcap
|
||||
and enable the "Send and receive real IPX packets" option.
|
||||
|
||||
**NOTE**: SPX connections are not supported when using this option.
|
||||
|
||||
Compatibility
|
||||
-------------
|
||||
|
||||
Software that uses WinSock 1.x and/or DirectPlay (before version 8) is supported.
|
||||
|
||||
The following have been reported to work:
|
||||
|
||||
* Atomic Bomberman
|
||||
* Carmageddon
|
||||
* Carmageddon II
|
||||

|
||||
* Delta Force 2
|
||||
* Diablo
|
||||
* Heroes of Might and Magic III

-- INTRODUCTION --
|
||||
|
||||
IPXWrapper is a wrapper library which transparently tunnels IPX/SPX over IP. To
|
||||
use it, simply copy the four included DLL files to the directory containing the
|
||||
program that needs it.
|
||||
|
||||
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.
|
||||
|
||||
Software using IPXWrapper can't communicate with software that is using the real
|
||||
IPX protocol and vice-versa.
|
||||
|
||||
-- COMPATIBILITY --
|
||||
|
||||
Software that uses WinSock 1.x and/or (Pre version 8) DirectPlay is supported.
