Need some technical assistance...

Recommended Posts

I have two computers that were once both running Windows 95. By using an ethernet cable and adjusting the network settings, I was able to link them together so that two people could deathmatch, etc. One computer died, so I purchased another that runs Windows XP. I can link them together to share files and such, but I can't get a linked game of Doom going anymore. Does anyone know if it is possible to link a game between different OS's and if so, what settings are needed to make it work?

If you can transmit files back and forth across the network everything should be fine, though WinXP may try blocking communications with it's built in firewall shit. Both computers can see each other fine?

probably you used original doom under win95 with IPX network? in winXP both of them dont work as i understand - use some win32 doom-port instead

Beats me, I avoid XP like the plague. You could always upgrade to win98. :-)
