my reply = sincere... you answered my question you didn't have to be an infected minge about it

yes... that advce shot me back onto the Descent 1 learning curve like a penny out of a slingshot. Thanks so much for your succinct and profitable advice. I owe you a beer when you come into town.

I've got NWlink installed on 7 WIN2K machines, all hooked together through a hub. Is there any way to make Descent find an "active ipx driver" when you run it? Does anyone know the "magic config." to get it to work? Thanks

I;ve been working on this for about 3 days, trying to get my networked WIN2K boxes to recognize IPX when running descent. I get some error message "no ipx adapter detected" in-game. I've just finished installing the NWlink network adapter on all the machines, but haven't had success getting the game ...
