    Thumbs up Hmmm...

    That's very interesting because I can connect to the games using IPX like DEMONSTAR etc etc...

    Can you use all other functions of NIC like, connection sharing or anything...???

    What kind of NIC do u have...??? Brand name and model please...

    Did XP installed it by itself you did it manually...???

    Cheers...

    I can use ICS from the Host Computer, but I've never tried it on this one.
    Intel 8255x-Based PCI Ethernet Apdator 10BaseT

    It gives me the option of finding it my self. And ideas what it might be on?

    XP came with the comp.

    Red face OK...

    I was just thinking about compatability issue but as u told it came with it so there is no issue...

    Tell you my problem...

    I have 2 NICs and I couldn't share my net connection b4 so I thought its the other NIC creating the problem and I was wrong when I removed the other NIC.

    Then I dropped paying attention to it and later some stage my XP crashed...!!! ( Because of some weird experiments of mine...hi hi )

    So I repaired my XP or lets say I upgraded it and now every thing is cool...

    It must be a conflict or improper configuration...

    Cheers...

    All I think it is, is that IPX Setup files weren't included with XP, and I need to get them either online, or from the XP CD, or maybe even Microsoft.

    I'm about to go on a hunt at Microsoft actually....

    Thumbs up Give it a go...

    Try the MS website and hunt for it...

    If can't find any thing then try to remove NIC and put it in a different slote or try to clear the IP Stack or repair XP as I did...

    Good luck with it...

    Cheers...
