is ipx/spx protocol supported in winxp mode for win7? even if it is does it work for LAN games that use upx/spx?

No. IPX hasn't been supported since Vista and it isn't in Win7 either.MS-MVP - Elephant Boy Computers - Don't Panic!

ah yes i know its not supported in win7 but is it in windows xp mode in windows 7?

I can't answer that for certain since my Win7 testbed box doesn't support XP Mode. If yours does, try it and find out!MS-MVP - Elephant Boy Computers - Don't Panic!

ah, ok thx

I suspect that you would have trouble with IPX/SPX in the vm. They were not installed by default in XP but you could enable them. My guess is that, if you try to enable them in the XP vm, it will ask you for the installation CD!Bill

it is not a problem since i have win xp installation cd but is there a software that microsoft has that will enable us to use ipx/spx in win 7 or vista or its completely unsupported?

it works, but unless its a vm u won't have any graphics acceleration cards installed, so e.g. c&c ra 2 doesn't work unter xp mode, i tried

ah,cool ra 2 has a patch that fixes that...
