Thanks again Joe.

I have enabled IPX, and can now select the NIC, but with two computers
so enabled on the network, neither side recognizes that there is
another computer running the game, so i cannot select a game to join,
and cannot start a game (asks 'only one player?) and click go.

Doesn't seem to be anything definitive in the manual about setting up
LAN games.

Anything that will point me in the right direction?

Sorry to reply to my own post, but i have more information:

I was able to get things such that with one computer set in a game
creation (lan), the other computer could see that game. However, it
appears that when i click 'join' for the created game, nothing
actually happens. no error message, but no activity either.

Any hints (obvious or otherwise) appreciated.

On my manual it says IPX is required for Local Area Network. That means
playing locally on a network.(LAN)
TCP/IP is meant for playing on the Internet.
