I have a new Vista Machine but i need to install a IPX/SPX-compatible

But the option is not availble in the menu

Does anyone know where i can get the software to install for Vista

Thanks

IPX/SPX?!? Gee, is it 1995 again?

Seriously, I think you are going to have to wait for Novell to release
one for Vista, because MS officially no longer supports it. Although I
wouldn't hold my breath, since Novell is all lost in Linux Land these
days.

I'm making an assumption that with IPX/SPX you have a Novell NetWare
server you are trying to talk to.

If you are looking to communicate with any version of NetWare which
doesn't have native IP support (ie NW 5.0 and up), sorry -- that won't
happen.

Even when Novell releases a Client for Vista (and there is a 'tech
demonstration version which kind of sort of works), that client will
only work with NW 5.0 and above as it only supports TCPIP.

I would also like to find a solution for this. Therre are many games (i.e.
warcraft and starcraft) that use ipx/spx networking still.

Hey Mike,

I'm in the same situation. I found this IPX implementation for Vista

Apparently it works with some games... it didn't work with my game (star
wars: episode I racer)
