In my case my original RA2 cd-rom didn’t work, but after removing it and installing an “illegal” version downloaded from the internet it worked! Probably due to the fact that it’s a “fresh” Red Alert 2 installation. That is a last resort, only if you have a software glitch somwhere that doesnt allow RA2 to recognise the new IPX configuration. Re-install RA2: Only if nothing else works.If this fails, try selecting different socket numbers. Leave everything else as default (empty). Configure RA2: Options – Network, select the same MAC address in the drop down menu as you took in note the first time.A MAC address looks like this: 00-1A-B4-A2-01-D1 (keep this for later) Find the network card you set up for IPX and note its MAC address. Type ‘ipconfig /all’ and the information of all network cards should scroll by. Find your MAC address: Start – Run – type ‘CMD’ – Command prompt appears.Change number to a unique network value on both computers. Under frame type, select 802.3, or experiment with 802.2 or ether II. Now select properties of this new protocol. How to: start – settings – Network and dial up connections – right_click on the network device – properties.Ī new window will show up with a list of services and protocols. (anything from a crossover to a router to a switch to wireless everything will work)
