i couldnt get a lan game going over ipx

That's hardly a reason for intelligent people to avoid the protocol, though.

support isnt built in, as has been the point of this thread for the last 1 and 1/2 pages

and IPX isnt difficult, just install the protocol and make the program use the correct network interface.
iv done it for RA2 at home.

yeh i did do that, and selected the correct mac address for my interface, we could see each other in the lobby, but when it came to a game, we couldnt see the game that we had created

Sigh. You need to set the final field in the network config to: 00.00.00.00

CNC has a 'Network' option... but RA1 doesnt.... Meh.

Needs port 5000 i believe. Might need to do some reading up on it if we decide to play.

EA didn't develope the game back then..

I've just got RA1 working over network, so we can play any of them now

And I meant EA downgraded the game when they put it into TFD
