Hello

My Problem is that i want to run Wing Commander Armada in my Network over ipx.

But when i want to activate ipx in the dosbox.conf armada says :

" Network Driver detected ! Cannot switch to protected Mode safely "

What is the problem about that ?

I use Windows XP and Dosbox 0.63

Is this a problem with armada or with Dosbox ?

it only happens if you have ipx is true.
somehow they don't like our ipx driver or so

Yes it only happens if ipx=true

But could it be that the problem is that dosbox can´t run ipx and the protected mode at the same time ?

Because the message could be send froom dosbox too i am not sure about that !

I have talked to other users which had the same problem !

Has someone ever played Armada or Proving Grounds in Network mode ?

Is the Modem Mode playable too ? I havent tried this because i dont know how to configure the modem options ?

Thanks for your answeres
