When I try to play a multiplayer game with two PCs on a IPX Lan I get a Direct Play error. The error tells me that I haven't installed direct x 5. I have direct x 6 installed and I don't have any problems with other games. What gives?

Try using TCP/IP over the lan. For IPX, where does is generate that message? When you're trying to join a game, or when you select an IPX game?
