Someone on the net was successful in playing network playable games like 
Doom2, C&C, Warcraft 2, etc. with just network cards and cable without 
having to buy network software (Novell, LANtastic, etc.)

If anyone out there knows how this is possible, I would greatly 
appreciate it if they could tell me how this is done.

I'm running windows 95, by the way, and there are built-in network 
adapter drivers that can be configured.

: ctual netware shell or whatever is unnececary.  all you need is an ipx
driver for your system.  This usually consists of lsl.com, ipxodi.com and
some card specific device driver.  All of these are available quite easily
from various ftp sites (although i forget which ones)
