Sorry about the delay in getting back to you. The IPX networking protocol was dropped in XP as hardly anyone uses it anymore, the networld has adopted TCP/IP wholesale. Do you have a TCP/IP option in your game?

I don't think it does Need. A few older games only had an IPX option, no TCP/IP..
Try reading this link to install IPX. Don't bother with installing Novell. Follow the rest of the instructions. If you get stuck, let me know. I have XP and an old game that needs IPX, I can always try to get that working on my PC and then write down what I had to do.

"simply download the file attached and move it to the installation root of the game , as for your lan setting , the computers that you want to play network on should have the same Gateway.
This file is also a fix for computers on windows xp , it allows you to play the game on network with any windows system"
download the file from "[URL="http://www.ultgate.com/1887/redalert-2-windows-7-vista"]UltGate /URL]"
