Kali?

Just installing the IPX protocol on XP won't work? (This isn't a rhetorical question, I'm really asking...)

I know it's still available in XP, it's just not installed by default...

Bigmouth is looking for a program to encapsulate the IPX protocol for use over an IP network. You can definitely use IPX under XP, but that will only get you as far as your LAN...

In this case Kali would be an appropriate suggestion, I remember hearing about it in the Warcraft 2 days, although I haven't ever used it myself.

Hamachi supposedly recognizes and tunnels IPX packets across its VPN, but I've never tried it.

You may know nothing of programming, but have you heard of Google? 😳

Why offer a 'challenge' to others, when you just don't have the ability? The simple answer is to use what someone else has already programmed, do not re-invent the wheel or ask others to do so on your behalf...

I actually tried out GIT yesterday, and it worked great! 😁 I was actually quite surprised at how effective it was over my LAN, considering that it was mostly designed for playing LAN games over the internet, and not for just translating IPX to TCP/IP.
