TCP/IP over IPX/SPX

[Guest]

Okay, I have both IPX/SPX and TCP/IP working at the same time. I am playing
an old dos game that needs IPX/SPX to run. (Sorry, it's a bit immature to be
talking about games in this forum. When I play the network game, it works
fine, and quite fast on IPX/SPX, although after a about 10 minutes it
severely lags and I have to quit and reboot. Then I heard of a program that
will make this game work over TCP/IP. I was wondering if that is faster and
more cleaner than IPX?

You might want to ask in a gaming group.

IPX has less overhead than IP so if anything it would decrease
performance, but you shouldn't notice on a healthy network anyway.
Trouble-shoot the real problem. Is the network functioning correctly
otherwise?
