Right I am trying to play Red Alert 2 on wireless machines that are both running Windows XP Professional Corporate edition. As you know RA2 requires the IPX protocol, here is what I have done so far:

Installed both wireless cards, both machines can ping each other and I can map drives so they are working

The cards are part of the network bridge so all protocols must be installed in the Network Bridge correct?

I have installed IPX in both machines under the network bridge and the boxes are ticked.

I have given both machines different IPX Internal Network Numbers, one is 00000001 and the other is 00000002

I have chosen the corresponding numbers in the settings of RA2

I have unticked NWlink netBIOS in the network bridge

Whenever I start a game on one computer the other computer can't see it, I think I must have done everything, what can I try now?

I can't bind the IPX protocol to the cards themselves, I haver to do it in the Network Bridge is this correct?

I also tried Starcraft and that doesn't work either!
