IPX Connection Help Please!

I am currently running three computers on a Linksys Wireless G Router (WRT54G2) with IPX Protocol installed on each. Today, I was trying to host an IPX LAN game of Warcraft II BNE so I could play with some friends. One person could join while the other only got 'waiting for response' and idled out. I have tweaked with Ethernet 802.3 (802.2, and Ethernet II) and the Network Addresses but to no avail. I have also tried to use the VPN program Hamachi's IPX Protocol, but also to no avail. If anyone has any information on how to get the IPX LAN to work correctly, please help me out!

You need to change the IPX addresses on each computer so they aren't the same. By default their adresses will be all the same either 00000000 or 00000001, IE: Change them to 00000001/00000002 etc. This should resolve your issue.
