I'm getting this same problem as well. Can anyone help? I'd really like to get a network game of Duke running and I really don't want to have to install Win98 on my machine again to do it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

OK I think I may have discovered something that might be useful. On a hunch I installed Rise of the Triad and tried to get a LAN game running through that. It bombed out but this time with the much more useful error message "IPX protocol not detected." Now I know for a fact that I do have IPX installed since I set the Frame Type from Windows' clumsy "Auto Detect" to "Ethernet 802.3" to prevent problems with Windows negotioating incorrect frame types. Given that StarCraft (admittedly a Windows game) can see the IPX protocol fine something is screwy here. Any idea what?
