DOS C&C Network ability?

Recommended Posts

Ok, I just aquired the DOS C&C, did the Star Wars page instructions on how to get it to work on XP, as did my wife, and now we're coming into a little problem.

 

I can actually setup for network play, as my version shows 1.20. Her's says 1.22 and only allows for modem play?

 

Anyone know how to work around this to get her machine up and available for network play? We've uninstalled and reinstalled the stupid thing so much, I think there is a permanent groove in her hard drive platter.

hm... DOS C&C on XP over network? No.. that wo't work. See, even C&C95 has problems with network play because XP doesn't support the IPX network protocol. For DOS C&C you'd have to actually find a DOS IPX LAN driver too, which would most probably not work on XP either.

 

Howeer, aparently the DOSBox emulator has good network support. If you play through DOSBox, it might be possible.
