Hello, I recently installed Windows Vista, and I decided to test out some of my old games to check it's compatibility. Most of them play, but network games that use IPX don't, because there is no IPX/SPX protocal available. I was wondering if there is any IPX support at all in Vista, or if there will be. Any information about IPX is appreciated. Thanks.

We got very big network in our company. Some computers are working in one workgroup and in one subnet (ex. 10.0.10.0/24). Other big part - computers in several domains and different own subnets (ex. 10.0.6.0/24 or 172.17.0.0/16). All subnets are cross-routed (Cisco routers). I can PING from my computer any other computer from any other subnet. No problems. My computer is 10.0.10.22. In...

I have XP Pro machines on my network and I cannot get Vista to see them let alone connect to any of their file shares. I've tried to connect via UNC and IP address. Neither work. I get the error that the computer cannot be found on the network. Now I can ping these PCs successfully via their IP -and- Computer Name, so IP/Name resolution is working fine. I can also connect to them via RDP...

I installed the RC2 release of Vista, and while I can still see my brothers laptop (XP) on the network, I cannot see or access my windows 2000 server. Considering the machine is kinda old, I won't even update it to XP. (besides, the network security and setup in 2000 is MUCH better for my server application) Has anyone else had this problem, or can anyone help me see my server? Any help...

I am missing the logon over dialup check-box that I had in Windows XP after pressing ctrl-alt-delete. How do I do this in Vista RC1?

After RC2 was installed it was fine for a day or so, now all of a sudden I can't connect to the internet anymore after the computer awaken from sleep. There's nothing wrong with my connection because I can access internet fine on Win-XP (dual-boot). I've tried all the repairing mechanism in Vista but still doesn't work. Any ideas on why it just suddenly stopped working? Help?

I have had this annoying problem with my wireless card. I does not want to recognize anything outside of its /24 subnet, including VPN/WAN connections. These VPN/WAN connections are part of my Windows 2003 R2 native AD Domain, yet when I try to ping or access network resources at these remote sites the connection fails. If I plug back in my wired NIC connections, connectivity to the entire...
