Post by: Cobra on August 05, 2005, 02:03:10 pm

How do i enable them? (found a workaround for playing decent 3 multiplayer and my computer decided to turn them off.)

He's saying you couldn't possibly be on the web without TCP/IP.

To enable IPX on a Windows machine you can add the protocol from your network connection configuration. Just open it up and click add. You may need a Windows install CD depending on your version.

If your computer turned them off, you wouldn't be posting here.  More likely, your game doesn't see that they are on.

*calmness induced for great justice*

Are you posting from the same PC as you have the problem on?

You're wasting your time enabling IPX unless you intend to play over a LAN. Even then you're probably wasting your time as the network most likely uses TCP/IP anyway.

then that's what hamachi is good for then. :nervous:

also, the TCP/IP option used to work before, but now D3 just won't recognize it.
