In principle I agree with both of you, but when I proposed doing just that, my son produced the manuals for several games which claimed to need IPX.
I have no idea whether the games REALLY needed it, but sometimes it's easier to give in gracefully than to argue with a teenager.
Fair point although these must be fairly old games as all the new games I have support TCP/IP only. I believe there is software available that allows you to tunnel IPX through IP though, if you are interested I think it is called Kali and is available from www.kali.net though I may be completley wrong about this as I have never used it or even tried to tunnel IPX over IP.
