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.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|

-- 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.
