WinXP files for LAN play

Postby Gusset » Thu Jul 28, 2005 10:31 pm

Where can I get nw16.exe and vwipxspx.exe? My PC came with XP installed, but no CD. Same with my last PC. I guess it's an anti-piracy measure by MS.

Sheesh, I'm setting records posting here...I hope I don't make you regret starting this forum, LB!

These files are part of Windows XP Pro. You may be able to copy them from an XP pro system but I doubt they will work on XP Home.

I don't think the instructions I posted on my site will work with XP Home.

What you will likely need to do instead is download something from the Novel site as the built-in IPX/SPX networking on XP Home is lacking in DOS support.

Maybe that is something else I can fool around with when I get some time 8)
