It hasn't.

The IPX driver(s) supplied with the Crynwr collection didn't work with our
setup either. We also tried with the full and shareware versions. DOOM
didn't like them either. We did however use the IPX drivers that came with
a network card (purchased that very morning, lucky huh?) and it worked
first time.

All I can say is that three people locally have had the same experience
as you. I guess you should try to find another IPX packet driver.
