    I need IPX/SPX for RA2!!! Help


    How can I get IPX/SPX installed for RA2?

    I tried this way:

    Code:
     
    Step 1.
    Ctrate a new folder c:\temp
    
    Step 2.
    Copy the following files to the directory c:\temp *and* to the corrsponding vista directories:
    Note: You might need to open up an "elevated" command prompt, "run as administrator", (to get write access to directories).
    
    Windows\System32\drivers\nwlnkipx.sys 
    Windows\System32\drivers\nwlnkflt.sys 
    Windows\System32\drivers\nwlnkfwd.sys 
    Windows\System32\drivers\nwlnknb.sys 
    Windows\System32\drivers\nwlnkspx.sys 
    
    Windows\System32\rtipxmib.dll 
    Windows\System32\wshisn.dll 
    Windows\System32\nwprovau.dll 
    
    Windows\inf\netnwlnk.inf  (*)
    Windows\inf\netnwlnk.pnf  (*)
    
    (*) The directory "inf" is hidden
    
    Step 3.
    Go to "manage network connection" (in control panel-> network). Right click your LAN adapter connection, click "install", "protocol", "Add", Do not select the IPX that is already in the list, be sure to select "have disk". Navigate to "c:\temp" and select file "netnwlnk.inf", now select "WLink IPX/SPX/NetBIOS". You will get a warning it's not verifyable, install anyway (or not..). 
    
    If you get an error message about a missing module, you forgot to copy the above files to the windows 7 directories.
    
    Step 4.
    Reboot computer.
    But I could not find these files

    Code:
    Windows\System32\drivers\nwlnkipx.sys 
    Windows\System32\drivers\nwlnkflt.sys 
    Windows\System32\drivers\nwlnkfwd.sys 
    Windows\System32\drivers\nwlnknb.sys 
    Windows\System32\drivers\nwlnkspx.sys 
    
    Windows\System32\rtipxmib.dll 
    Windows\System32\wshisn.dll 
    Windows\System32\nwprovau.dll 
    
    Windows\inf\netnwlnk.inf  (*)
    Windows\inf\netnwlnk.pnf  (*)
    I just looked up the first one and it wasn't there so I figured looking up the rest would be a waste of time.

    Any ideas?

    You dont need it if your playing red alert 2 just use the tcp/ip patch.
    Play Red Alert 2 on LAN - Windows Vista - Yes We Can

    Even though it says vista it also works on 7, only used it in x64 i doubt it makes a difference sense it changes game files.
