YOU DO THIS IN YOUR OWN RISK. If you do this, take backups. Requires: MS Windows XP (SP2): 1) Create new folder named 'temp' to root of your Vista drive ( C: ). Copy the following files from XP (or expand from XP CD) installation: Windows System32 drivers nwlnkipx.sys Windows System32 drivers nwlnkflt.sys Windows System32 drivers nwlnkfwd.sys Windows System32 drivers nwlnknb.sys Windows System32 drivers nwlnkspx.sys Windows System32 rtipxmib.dll Windows System32 wshisn.dll Windows System32 nwprovau.dll (Following folder is hidden) Windows inf netnwlnk.inf Windows inf netnwlnk.pnf to C: Temp, and to corresponding Vista folders. 2) Control Panel-Network Center-Manage network connections.
Right-click your LAN connection and select Properties. Click Install., select Protocol and click Add. The NWLink IPX/SPX/NetBIOS protocol may be listed on the Network Protocol list. DO NOT SELECT IT. Click Have Disk. Browse to C: Temp.
Select netnwlnk.inf. Select NWLink IPX/SPX/NetBIOS from the list. Vista will tell you that the publisher could not be verified.
Click Install. If all goes well, the protocol should be now installed. Restart computer. The problem I had using that solution should be able to be solved. I followed the instructions precisely. However, it wasn't the digital signature requirment which made it fail.
When I reached the part: Select NWLink IPX/SPX/NetBIOS from the list. Vista will tell you that the publisher could not be verified. Click Install. An error dialog stated: Could not add the requested feature. The error is: The specified module could not be found. I WAS going to ask what to do, but having checked the.INF file contents, it appears that Vista does not want to automatically install the three DLL files into the%systemroot% system32 directory.
I therefore manually copied them there before trying again. This time, it completed successfully. It may take a LONG time - this may have been because my network connection was very active at the time with another 'sorting out Vista' job It requires a reboot just like the good old days.
After reboot, the IPX/SPX protocol shows in the network connection dialog. As yet, I can't actually get it to work and I do not have a means of testing it other than one program which states: IPX protocol not found. I can't believe that is anything to do with firewall etc althogh I did allow the program on local network only.
For the moment I am assuming that the program itself doesn't like Vista although every other part of it not requiring a network connection works. Any ideas gratefully received! In the meantime, inserting those three DLLs in the system32 directory before installing the protocol may solve some other users' problem. (This relates to WinXP Pro SP2 version of the files and Vista Ultimate for the installation so it may not be the same for you.) If you have a problem with getting Vista to accept your instructions to accept a driver which is not digitally signed, that is an entirely different matter of security which you probably want to read up on if you want to get any further with Vista! Regarding the 'solution' given above, it doesn't work for me. It installs the protocol, yes, but it doesn't allow to configure it!!!
So of course it's no use at all, no game will recognize the protocol even being there. Is there a solution for this? And will or will not there be an update that will add the ipx/spx support??
I guess it is quite important for pro-gamers etc., as games like starcraft or red alert 2 require it for the multiplayer to function. My point is maybe it's out-of-date for windows and novell but a lot of other software depend on this, so why not include it in vista??

My point is maybe it's out-of-date for windows and novell but a lot of other software depend on this, so why not include it in vista?? Well, Starcraft is from the Blizzard stable and looking at WofW, they seem deeply rooted in IP development, don't you think?
Interesting that you mention RA2. Westwood Studios (an EA company) didn't learn their lesson when not only would Red Alert (the original) not work in compatibility mode in Windows XP. Even if they had WANTED to, because their coding design was simply BAD (the network components of the game itself were embedded in the game code instead of being separate objects etc etc) which meant that in order to provide an upgrade patch which would work in WinXP, they would have had to rewrite the entire game! Even if that had been viable (maybe just to maintain their reputation for supporting their games), they hadn't included sufficient security to stop widespread pirating so the reqrite would have become available to the pirate users too.
That's all she wrote! But why on EARTH they wrote RA2 etc to depend on IPX on LAN instead of IP which was already included in the networking components, who can say? I can't see them upgrading RA2 though. It's ancient in gamer terms. So YOUR solution would be multi-boot to WinXP for those things. You don't need to maintain huge partitions for it - today's hard disks are massive compared with the ones when these games/programs came out and it needn't cost you a penny if you already have the correct OS license. (Red Alert would be a tough one - I am still working out how to convince Windows 98SE that 2GB of RAM is not a problem as I only want it to use however much it wants, but that's simply tweaking time with the System.ini file!

Don Hill In many things they do - and mostly HOW they do them - I am not a great fan of Microsoft - but I blame the laws controlling monopolies in the country in which they are based which Microsoft simply used to corporate advantage which is their right! But was Microsoft required to restrict the development of a major new version of its OS to suit backward compatibility for one somewhat jaded network protocol developed by another company and used on a minority of the target users of the new version of the OS for a small sample of software? I don't think so but that's only my opinion.
Unfortunately or fortunately depending on your viewpoint, ' thousands of SCADA machine/site' is rather a tiny number compared with how many machines (of many platforms) are already using IP exclusively as their network protocol. Connect a printer to the LAN? Connect Network Attached Storage? No choice to use IPX in any of these or many other cases.
Unless you are running Netware full-blown, this is not an issue. If you are, it's between you and Novell whose protocol it is. If you are simply using IPX for some games or an odd piece of software, you don't even have a comeback at Novell so it's up to you to multi-boot.
If you are only working on a LAN with IPX, keep a WinXP partition and lock the internet out of it. Keep the OS as small as you can to allow the software which requires IPX to run and it will reboot in a matter of seconds to play your RA2 or use your IPX connected software across the LAN and then switch back again. The Vista reboot may take a little longer, but presumably you need to do other things during those moments and not watch paint dry lol.
My company uses Novell Netware 4.11 servers. Client machines with Windows 7 OS can not access these servers. I have installed Novell Client 2 SP2 for Windows on client and binded TCP/IP protocol on servers and the client still can not communicate with servers, NDS tree is not visible/accessible. Apparently, this is unsolvable problem because of lack of support for IPX protocol both in Windows 7 and Novell Client 2. Does anyone has any ideas how to overcome this issue, besides obvious (replace servers, use winXP, etc.)? I have loaded windows 2003 server on this but the following OS are supported: Microsoft Windows 2000 Microsoft Windows NT 4.0 Microsoft Windows Server 2003 Novell NetWare 5.1 Novell NetWare 6.0 Novell NetWare 6.5 OS/2 Red Hat Enterprise Linux 2.1 (x86) Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 (x86) Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 (x86) Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 Server (x86) Red Hat Linux 7.2 Red Hat Linux 7.3 Red Hat Linux 8.0 SCO Open UNIX 8 SCO OpenServer 5 SCO OpenServer 6 SCO UnixWare 7 SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 7 SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 8 SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 9 (x86) Dec 25, 2010.
There is a 'solution' that is posted on a few places for Vista. Be aware though, that the solution first only works on 32-bit, and that the 'solution' probably don't even work. (It's more of a hack than a clean install.) There are a few obvious things, like the properties button on IPX protocol is grayed out (meaning you can't change frame type), and you can't bind IPX to the client of Windows Networking protocol. Don't see this as a serious solution, more as a desperate try to get it working, until the protocol is officially added to protocol list. What you need: a working installation of Windows XP sp2 (according to instructions). Ctrate a new folder c: temp Step 2.
Copy the following files to the directory c: temp.and. to the corrsponding vista directories: Note: You might need to open up an 'elevated' command prompt, 'run as administrator', (to get write access to directories).
Windows System32 drivers nwlnkipx.sys Windows System32 drivers nwlnkflt.sys Windows System32 drivers nwlnkfwd.sys Windows System32 drivers nwlnknb.sys Windows System32 drivers nwlnkspx.sys Windows System32 rtipxmib.dll Windows System32 wshisn.dll Windows System32 nwprovau.dll Windows inf netnwlnk.inf (.) Windows inf netnwlnk.pnf (.) (.) The directory 'inf' is hidden Step 3. Go to 'manage network connection' (in control panel- network).
Right click your LAN adapter connection, click 'install', 'protocol', 'Add', Do not select the IPX that is already in the list, be sure to select 'have disk'. Navigate to 'c: temp' and select file 'netnwlnk.inf', now select 'WLink IPX/SPX/NetBIOS'.
You will get a warning it's not verifyable, install anyway (or not.). If you get an error message about a missing module, you forgot to copy the above files to the windows 7 directories. Reboot computer.
Now you will have the IPX protocol in installed protocol list (if everything works as it should), but it will probably not work. Are you kidding me? This is Microsoft's official response? There's no native IPX/SPX so contact Novell. How does the most 'user-friendly' operating system company refuse to support one of the most widely used LAN protocols for old games? I mean I'm a PC and i'm 4 1/2 years old, I can make pictures look good, yay!
Is this what Microsoft is now? I'm not gonna lie, I don't have an issue Windows supporting IPX, that's fine. I'm sure tons of users will make a work around. But for you to even come in here and post that garbage of a statement. No duh, it's not natively supported, no duh. This post is a year old, I really hope that you don't answer questions for support help anymore. I used to use IPX/SPX because I don't like to have my production machines exposed to the Internet any more than absolutely necessary.
With IPX, I could run a local area net and keep TCP/Internet turned off completely on all but one machine. Now, I feel very exposed to all the potential garbage that the Internet can bring.

I also note that Windows 7 is slow to find other machines. Seems it is searching the whole world where IPX was, virtually instant access and no big searching lag. More risk and slower response, oh yeah, that's a good marketing plan - just cover it up with some bad art work so you can look more Mac-like. Someone please fire who ever made these decisions. Killing off legacy essentials in Windows7 and Vista is almost as bad as taking old OS maintenance tools that have been in the same place for many years, renaming them and hiding them under lame artwork all over the place. Why its so much fun to go on an Easter Egg hunt when you have real work to do. There are a lot of things I like about Windows 7, but they are mostly performance related due to changes in processors and graphics cards.
The organization and window dressing is pure BS. As the old maxim of good design goes: Form follows function. Someone at MS seems to have suffered Mac envy and was more interested in window dressing than functionality.
Moving old utilities around and renaming them annoys me every day. Who ever did that should be looking for a new job. Taking out the old 'horizontal span' that every stereoscopic program on earth needed and replacing it with something that is not compatible is a sign of ignorance, arrogance or bad marketing (or some combination of the foregoing). Apologies for the thread necromancy, but I had a problem similar enough that threads like these came up as the solution, but it turned out that my scenario, and solution, were very different. Trying to install the IPX protocol on windows vista or later ONLY APPLIES to games coded for the early versions of windows, where TCP/IP was not yet a standard protocol.
It does NOT APPLY to DOS games, which you are probably running in the DosBox emulator. Emulators are what we now call Virtual machines, and Dosbox is pretty smart. This means you just need to configure one Dosbox to fire up an IPX server, and all the other DosBoxes on the LAN to fire up IPX clients, and you're good to go. I just wanted to point out that you might not need IPX in windows at all.
EA / Origin gave away dungeon keeper for free, so the kids and I grabbed 3 copies, and tried multiplayer. The EA copy doesn't seem to be the latest one, so doesn't yet have TCP, only IPX.
I edited the C: Program Files Origin Games Dungeon Keeper DATA DOSBox dosbox.conf file, and right at the bottom, added the following to the autoexec section (just after Mount C.): ipxnet startserver On the other two dosboxes, I instead added (use the IP address of the above computer): ipxnet connect 192.168.2.100 Just make sure to run the server dosbox before the clients start.
