I am using Virtual PC for mac 7.0.2. I am trying to play a network game with my housemate who has a windows box.
The game (Tiberian sun) requires you to use IPX instead of TCP/ip for network games so i have installed that on both machines. The game also requires you to select the physical address of the network interface you are using to connect to the tnetowrk - i have this setup correctly (as far as i can tell) - by typing at the command line ipgconfig -all i can see the address of the ethernet card.
Both OS are on the same workgroup so thats not he problem. The only thing i can think of that is wrong is that because the ethernet card is not REALLY an ethernet card, more a link to my actual ethernet card it is not using the correct address (i.e. the address given by windows is not the address of my card.
I looked a tthe address of my card in OS X and found it to be similar to the one windows was reporting - but not exactly the same.
Does anyone have any ideas? and please dont say that you cantr run games on VPC, because you can - single player works perfectly.
