Hi.

I have downloaded the edited hellfrui.dll as others have recommended, and multiplayer is available. However, on the "Select Connection" screen I get the following message when selecting Local Area Network (IPX):

"Unable to initialize selected connection method".

LAN works fine in Diablo. Has anyone else experienced this?

It's because the Microsoft doesn't support IPX/SPX protocol sinse Windows Vista... You could try to do like recommended [url=https://answers.microsoft.com/ru-ru/windows/forum/windows_7-networking/протокол/36fd234e-7115-43d2-bb95-8effe5eeca82?messageId=7a32c7ce-dcf9-41e4-afbb-db16e4245744]here[/url]. ( unfortunately I found answer only in russian try translate).

Thanks for the reply.

LAN IPX works in Diablo without Hellfire, so I assume the changes in the altered hellfrui.dll prevent the IPX wrapper from working.

Sorry for the late reply, but just came across you post. You might want to check DevilutionX out, we added support for Hellfire and fixed a few hundred bugs and made multiplayer much simpler with no need for adjusting things in order to get up and running. Hope it's still relevant to you :)
