When trying to set up a two player IPX game (I had two computers hooked up using the GameLan kit, which worked otherwise - I've checked it on every other multi game I have), as soon as the other person joined the host received a "Message from the Net Underworld" stating "Oh! No! Send failed!" After launching the multiplayer game there's a slight period of synchronizing the computers - I could only get as far as "Synchronizing Geo something (1/1)" before the game froze - all that while constantly receiving the forementioned message. It did seem to be another program running - I had on the taskbar both SMAC and "Message..."
Still, it all goes down to not being able to enjoy IPX multiplayer game. Am I the only one experiencing such difficulties (i.e. got a trojan on my puter) or is it a part of the program that misbehaves?
Please help.
