Hello :)

I'd like to play a few multiplayer sessions, but it doesn't work because the game tells me that I need to install IPX first. After some research I found out that it is related to network protocols and I even found out how to install it... on Windows XP. Well, on Windows 10 the necessary NW LINK IPX/SPX/NET BIOS COMPATIBLE TRANSPORT doesn't show up at all and manually trying to download it didn't work either.

So... What am I supposed to do now? I even tried deactivating the firewall, but to no avail.

Other people still seem to be able to play multiplayer, so there must be a solution out there.
Can you help be find out what I have to do?


Edit: I forgot to mark this as a question and I can't change that now.

It's a bit embarassing, but I figured it out. Turned out ipx comes directly with the game and there's ipxconfig.exe directly in the game folder. After fumbling around with it I actually got it to work.
I selected my network controller as primary interface, then I selected it again as network adapter and checked the box to enable the interface. I also allowed it to automatically create firewall exceptions for Windows and applied it.
