How to make ipx work with vista

And in that part you should see options for being either a client or host machine. If you don't you may have had a problem installing the IPX protocol onto your machine.

Make sure you followed the IPX installation steps in the guide, let me know if that doesn't work. I managed to get the ipx protocol to appear in the options tab of my network connection but still there is no option in D. This way seemed to work and i was able to start a multiplayer match over hamatachi. Does anybody have an idea why this could be happening? Or in my guide?
