http://blogs.msdn.com/b/virtual_pc_guy/archive/2004/11/18/260337.aspx IPX (Internetwork Packet Exchange) is an older protocol - originally developed by Novell for Netware networks. A number of DOS games need to have an IPX peer-to-peer network configured in order to support head-to-head gaming. In order to setup a minimal IPX DOS stack - you will need to download the following files: ftp://ftp.symantec.com/public/english_us_canada/products/ghost/layers/LSL.ZIP ftp://ftp.symantec.com/public/english_us_canada/products/ghost/layers/IPXODI.ZIP Novc_300.zip from http://developer.intel.com/design/network/drivers/novc_300.htm

Virtual PC Guy's WebLog : Getting the most out of IPX under Virt

During the development of Virtual PC 2004 - our primary focus was to perform a thorough security review of the entire product (After which - I have nothing but respect for the level of commitment that Microsoft now has to shipping secure products). Unfortunately - some of the changes made as a result of this review did negatively affect some areas of Virtual PC. One area that did get affected by this was the performance of IPX based networking under DOS virtual machines. http://blogs.msdn.com/b/virtual_pc_guy/archive/2004/11/24/269093.aspx

No IPX/SPX support any more ... ???, in Virtual PC

There never was explicit support for IPX/SPX, VPC emulates Ethernet hardware, not protocols.

Configure VPC to use the NIC not shared networking. by kaspervandenberg Mar 29

I have found problems with getting ipx to work properly with default windows clients. One solution has been to run an old novell server (2.2 for example) on the network. This seems to get ipx kick started. Linux can do ipx over ppp.
