Issues with Broodwar UDP LAN Play

Post a Reply

ThaJakester 1 Post November 27 2023 04:02 GMT #1 I tried googling all over but to no avail. I'm attempting to UDP LAN version 1.16.1 of Broodwar across 3 computers. 2 computers are Windows 10, and the 3rd is Windows XP lol. I'm doing this in hopes for a future friend Broodwar LAN party. So, I am trying to better understand UDP LAN in general. My firewalls allow Brood War safe passage, and I manually installed Bonjour (which apparently Broodwar automatically installs Bonjour anyway???) I had success LANing up on Broodwar 10 years ago on Windows 7...so IDK why I am struggling with this now And upon googling, a user somewhere said that in order to get Windows XP to run Broodwar UDP LAN, "IPX network protocols need to be installed..." And I don't even know where to begin with this. I am just completely lost with all of this :/ I appreciate any insight. Y'all are radical!

XP is such an old system.Some virtual lan software cannot support XP. For win7 win10 win11,I pefer softether to build a virtual lan for all sc players,and it really works.
