No idea if Warcraft II actually runs under HX. It may not, and that wouldn't be a huge shock. Sad but true. Go back to Warcraft 1 (or similar game, search Gog.com), which actually ran on real DOS. But as far as Realtek goes, here's two packet drivers, not sure which one you need (or other), but give 'em a try: http://www.georgpotthast.de/sioux/packet.htm Honestly, though, I'm not too savvy with Wattcp, you may have to "set WATTCP=wattcp.cfg" and change it to "my_ip = dhcp" or such. (mTCP is easier to use, IMHO, but that's separate from HX.) But thinking of all the crap that Windows games need, it's unlike to work (well, if at all) under HXGUI, even if you did manage to find all the proprietary .DLLs you need. Not trying to smash your dreams, just saying, almost nobody ever had the foresight with such old games to make them portable. > A 98 clone or ReactOS stabilized is definitely needed for these old > games.

I am against abandoning or throwing out "working" hardware just because it's not the latest fad anymore. But most people want to chase newer tech than support older stuff. If it's "old", it's automatically "bad", but "new" is somehow "perfect" (but only for a few months!). ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ LogMeIn Rescue: Anywhere, Anytime Remote support for IT.
