I create a Local Area Network (IPX) Game but no one can see the game I created

• Make sure that you are all using the same version number. Different Patch versions will not be able to play together.
  • e.g. version 1.0 can not play with version 1.02
  • You can obtain the latest patch here or by connecting to Battle.Net.

  *You need to be connected to the internet to download this file from the Blizzard FTP site.

If your network uses Ethernet, you should verify that all computers are using the same settings

• To change the settings:
  • Click on the "Start Button"
  • Select "Settings"
  • Select "Control Panel"
  • Double-click on the "Network" icon
  • Find and select the section of your networking list that mentions IPX
    • Click "Properties"
    • Click "Advanced"
    • Set "Frame Type" to 802.3
      (Note: If you have a network administrator, check with him/her for the correct frame type settings on your network)
    • Set "Max Connections" to 16
    • Set "Max Sockets" to 32

It is also possible that IPX is either not configured correctly on all of the systems trying to play, or that IPX is configured for use on a different network device such as a Dial Up Adapter

• If you have a network administrator, you will want to contact him/her about properly configuring IPX.
• You can check to see if IPX is set up for your network card by doing the following:
  • Click on the "Start Button"
  • Click on "Settings"
  • Select "Control Panel"
  • Double-click on the "Network" icon
    • If IPX is setup for your network card then one of the IPX entries should mention your network card (or NIC).
      For example, it could say "IPX/SPX-compatible Protocol ? NE2000 compatible" (if the only IPX entries say something like "IPX dial-up adapter" then IPX is not configured correctly).
