My roommate and I have a ethernet Lantastic network that connects our two computers together, and we've wanted to play doom on it since it first came out, but since Doom doesnt support any other network besides IPX type networks I thought that it was impossible.... But in fact it's not at all! What you need are is the Novell IPX ODI driver (IPXODI), the link support layer driver (LSL), and the ODI driver for your card. You dont have to have a novell file server to use these things, and they'll load fine as long as you dont have your other network software loaded. You can obtain the necessary files from Netware in CI$, or perhaps novell.com (I've not checked so I dont know). Look for the DOSUP9 file, it'll have the LSL program, and the IPXODI program along with some drivers for common cards (NE2000). If your not familar with ODI drivers, you'll need to create a net.cfg file so that it'll know what your card is set to. It looks like this: LINK DRIVER <driver name w/o extension) INT n PORT n There are other things you can add, but doing the above only worked for us. Keep in mind that I have no idea if this will work while other systems are trying to use the same wire for a different network. for all I know it might crash the whole network... Anyway, have fun and keep dooming! -- Chris McBride __ __ Edmond, Oklahoma S P E E D / \/ \ mcb...@okcforum.osrhe.edu L I M I T \__/\__/
