TR909 0 Posted April 11, 2001 Still haven't managed getting my CDRWs read under Whistler.Well the disk is recognized,but when i browse it,it seems to be blank!?!?No UDF reader icon,nothing.These were written with Direct CD. Also tried under Networking/Properties installing IPX/SPX protocoll,but couldn't find it.Is that missing,or i am missing something? Any help would be greatly appreciated.Thx in advance. ------------------ The infamous beatbox! Share this post Link to post
OLEerror 0 Posted April 11, 2001 Whistler does not natively support IPX. Microsoft pulled it out along with several other older protocols. It may be your CD-ROM drive that is the problem, or lack of drivers. I've seen this in Windows 2000 with older drives. Share this post Link to post
TR909 0 Posted April 11, 2001 Well didn't know that about IPX/SPX in Whistler(thx OLEerror).That is obviously meaning i should forget those great networking duels in Starcraft-Brood Wars. Also both my CD-rom,CDRW (Plextors SCSI)work perfect in all my OSes except the issue with the CDRWs in Whistler-kinda strange though since 2k had the UDF support into the OS. ------------------ The infamous beatbox!

jdulmage 0 Posted April 11, 2001 both protocols, IPX/SPX and NetBeui are dead...it's a waste of space and time to have it in there, most good developed multiplayer games have TCP/IP Share this post Link to post
Ryo-Ohki 0 Posted April 20, 2001 Its under NWLINK IPX/SPX. It installs automatically if you install the Novell Client, and I believe you can install it on its own. It also has NETBIOS integrated into it. Share this post Link to post
Reidyn 0 Posted April 20, 2001 IPX/SPX *should* die, but unfortunately it hasn't entirely died yet. Although *most* games DO have TCP/IP support, it seems that Westwood still prefers IPX for some reason. Red Alert 2, which is by no means an old or undesirable game, requires IPX to do multiplayer.

ThC 129 0 Posted April 22, 2001 if the CDs were written with DirectCD you need to get the latest UDF reader from Roxio (http://www.roxio.com) and then it will show the files on the CD. I had the same problem with CDs i burned using DirectCD 5. If you want e-mail or ICQ me and i can send you a copy of a UDF reader that will work in whistler. Share this post Link to post
