The death of IPX protocol [IPX + UDP Fix]
#17
Hey zebluk, thanks for sharing that. I've never heard of it and from the looks of the page it's been around since early 2009. There are a number of Win-based IPX network games that will never enjoy DOSBox's IPX emulation, and don't enjoy enough popularity to likely ever see specific fixes for themselves, so a global solution is much more desirable to those of us with a library containing a significant number of Windows classics.

I'm going to give it a try. If it works for me I'll mention it here and edit in a note about it at the top of the thread.

Update: That works like a charm, for Blizzard games anyway. Don't be scared by the number of files in the zip, you should only need the four DLLs for most games.

Do note that according to the readme, any XP users need to also use this to play with Windows 7 users using the wrapper; XP's native IPX isn't compatible with it.
