Sure.: IPX/SPX has been officially removed from windows server system since 2008. But based on my experience, here is workaround that install this protocol for server 2008: 1. Cope files of path below from server 2003 to same path on server 2008: Windows System32 drivers(nwlnkipx.sys,nwlnkspx.sys) Windows inf(netnwlnk.inf) Windows System32(wshisn.dll,nwprovau.dll) 2. Perform install new protocol steps on 2008, and you can found that IPX/SPX is listed in viable protocol list. Being 32 bit drivers, I'm not sure what problems you'll run into on a natively 64 bit OS, but this is a workaround, so I guess issues are not unexpected. (Having posted that, you really should do like Mark suggested and let obsolete technology rest in peace.).
I’ve tried everything to get Diablo 1 working across two Windows 7 64-bit machines. This isn’t working either and it was my last resort. I’ve installed Diablo to: C: program files (x86) diablo on both machines, and dragged the 4.dll files from ipxwrapper 0.3.2 into the same folder (not in a subdirectory), and when I attempt to create the multiplayer game, it says: “Unable to initialize selected connection method” sometimes. But other times, it just kicks me back to the connection method selection screen. I’ve run ipxconfig.exe and made sure it was on the right adapter (I have 2 virtual machine adapters as well, so I disabled it from connecting with them) and it’s not working. Can you please provide some assistance, or a screenshot of your game directory so I can see what it’s supposed to look like? Thank you – Mark mark at 1radpc dot com.UPDATE.
I got it to work by going to the shortcut properties - Compatibility - Run in compatibility mode for Windows XP SP3. Now, the people that will find this thread will more than likely have a color display issue with Diablo. They can fix the color display issue by using the task manager to kill Explorer.exe prior to launching the shortcut, then using the task manager to bring Explorer.exe back AFTER the game is CLOSED.

I downloaded this, got it working no problem with Diablo 1. I am currently trying to get it working with Warcraft 2 and can’t seem to do it. I downloaded and installed warcraft 2 (v1.0 RETAIL, no expansion).
Windows 7 Forums is the largest help and support community, providing friendly help and advice for Microsoft Windows 7 Computers such as Dell, HP, Acer, Asus or a custom build. I am focusing on two in particular in this thread - both of them install at the same time: NWLink NetBIOS NWLink IPX/SPX/NetBIOS Compatible Transport Protocol I have heard it mentioned that with the advent of the Vista OS MS did away with this protocol package, and that this continued in the Windows 7 OS.
Copy the.dll files for IPXwrapper to the warcraft 2 folder, and still, when I attept to open an IPX game it simply says “unable to locate IPX network” I am not sure if anyone else knows if I need to figure out how to patch it or download a certain copy or what. Again, I got this working with Diablo, understand how to do it, but it’s simply not working the same way with warcraft 2. Any help, links, etc, would be greatly appreciated.
