I know it's a little off-topic, but there are ipx experts around here and those are very hard to find nowadays.
I have the following network scheme:
Win2k---Swithed LAN---Linux server---Coax LAN---Win98
and I want to play DOOM over it. DOOM didn't work on W2k, so I tested it on IPX DirectPlay (Army Men was the first game I stumbled upon)
It works with Linux Ethernet Bridging - the network works okay now.
What I want to know is, why it didn't work with an IPX RIP router?
I've set up both IPX interfaces on Linux, started ipxripd. After a few seconds, all the interfaces were configured, even the Win2k's internal network was in the routing tables. I started a game server, but didn't see it on the other side. I think I tried it both ways.
Anyone any ideas?
Can Win98 make any use of the router? Would it work W2k<>W2k?
Are games somehow marked unroutable?
Where can one find info on how to become an IPX guru nowadays?
