It is working fine for me...Not the same game, but others which use IPX/SPX work
A.O.K.

Have confirmed that NWlink IPX/SPX/NetBios is bound to your network card?

Could your hub be blocking the IPX packets?

Have you tried using a cross-over cable between the two computers to test to see
if is the hub blocking you?
