I can not believe that it took me this long to figure this out. For about 3-4 years now, I have wanted to play RA2 and Tib Sun (Firestorm) over LAN. But it needed IPX to do multiplayer LAN, and all I had was TCP. Well 3 months ago, I was really board, and right clicked properties on my LAN connection. Just to see what there was that I could install, I clicked on the install button. And there it was Internet Protocol IPX. That annoyed me a little; you would think that they would have told you to do that in the RA2 read me. I also remember searching the internet looking for where you could get a card that supported IPX, and all I ever found was people talking about how RA2 still only supported IPX card, no one ever mentioned that all you ever had to do was install a new Protocol. So that’s what I am doing right now, giving anyone in the same situation a heads up.

Don't know if this is common knowledge or not but, I think it's worth noting that IPX support was removed in Vista. No more RA1/TS/RA2 LANs for any of you Vistagoers.
|
RA1 and C&C95 work with TCP, after you use Silent Kane's patch.
|
Somebody with Vista should test this out to see if it works. (No reason why it shouldn't, but a definite anwser would be nice)
And Icedog, how do you get RA2/TS to use TCP? Is there an option to enable somewhere?
