Missing IPX.COM file, it's needed for using IPX through DOS

[Z!re]

Does anyone have this file, or know where to get it?

It's old... I had it before, but somehow it's gone missing now, weird.

What about this one?

Think it's included with old DOS games like Quake too...

It says:

Could not find Packet Driver Interface.

:???:

Where did you get it in the first place. I have an MSDN cd set that has loads of DOS/Win 3.1 stuff on it, it may be there.

It was included on my win98 installation I think.

The weird thing is that I use the exact same computer I used to develop the program.

No changes, and it worked before, now it says missing IPX.COM...

Weird...

Someone, please.

*begs* Please.....



It is used for the Novell (i think) IPX interrupts.

Hard to say no to a great smile. :lol:

It's not on my Win98 computer or cd-rom.

I don't think it's a standard file, from what I've gathered on google, but is created special for your network card using the 'shell gen' program it comes with.

I've found some ipx.com files & pages using google, but they seem to be for a certain setup.

I don't know much about this, as you can see.

Thanks Dav, but all the sites either point to specific card IPX.COM's, or to old (1992-1995) dead links =(


Ok, seeing as the file is nowhere to be found =(..

How would you get IPX to work, under pure DOS?

This is all over my head, but I read where you should use IPXODI.COM instead. I did a search on my machine and did not have IPX.COM but did have IPXODI.COM. Like I said, I don't know much about this stuff but hopefully this might help.


Also IPX.COM is created by running a program called SHGEN

I don't have IPXODI.COM either, and IPX.COM was on this computer before, now it's gone...

Anyways, could you upload IPXODI?
