Hi ! Im at a little LAN with my cousin here and we wanted to play a little network round of Fragile Allegiance (yes, i own the original version, no download) together, the game we played for HOURS and HOURS when we were young.

The problem is, if i start Fragile Allegiance and then click on Network nothing happens. My cousin can open network games, so it should work.

I already installed IPX driver, enabled Network Games in Setup, re-installed the game, but still, nothing happens when i click on the network button.

Can anyone here help me ?

Mostly there are issues about the IPs. Try to look up those. If you click and your machine shows nothing it doesn't mean automatically that he didn't try to.

i dont know how the IPs could cause the problem.

other games are working fine.

Please try to help, we would really love to play the game in multiplayer

What are the settings available for network games?

Also, what protocols does the game support? There is a possibility it's not compatible with TCP/IP protocol.

i think it uses IPX only.

there arent any realy Network options, just how many players, what size of the universe and other game related options.

but as i said, if i click on Multiplayer/network button, nothing happens, i checked these options on my cousins comp

Hum, if I remember correctly, "Fragile Allegiance" (or "K240" - some people know it by this name) is a DOS game, but it can run in Windows XP, so here's my question: how are you running the game? through Windows or in DOSBox? If you are running it through Windows, you might have some firewall limitations (I really don't know if the IPX protocol is affected by it) - and maybe it isn't the answer as you said you can run other games over the network. If you are running it in DOSBox, you'll need to activate the IPX emulation (dosbox.conf - at [ipx] # ipx -- Enable ipx over UDP/IP emulation, set from ipx=false to ipx=true)

ok i just tried it with dosbox, and i can open multiplayer games now, the only problems is, we dont find our games. We both tried to open a game, but the other one cant join, because there arent any multiplayer games in the list.

-------------------

YEAH it works with DOSbox, needed to activate IPX Server in dosbox first, cool, thank you very much!!
