alright, dudes! not been on here in a good long while. i doubt memories stretch back that far on the internet.

quick question: i'm trying to set up a LAN game for ra2/YR however the network thingamajigs built into our laptops are much more advanced than the IPX network cards which ra2 and YR require for LAN play - as such the game will not let us play due to the prerequisite of the IPX. is there a sneaky way around such a problem?

unfortunatly you MUST have IPX/SPX protocol installed, which does not exist in windows vista, so if you are using vista, then YR networked is impossable.

however, if you are using windows XP, or 2000, then you need to select a phisical network card. to do this go to options networking, and select a network cards MAC adress for the card you want to use. usually there are 3 in the list, and its the second 1.
