IPX problem on ubuntu

by Andy Rollins · in Torque Game Engine · 06/19/2007 (10:40 am) · 2 replies

I'm trying to get Torque 1.5.2 built on ubuntu feisty 7.04, nearly got there but have one little issue that I'm not sure about, when running the dedicated server I can't connect to it from anywhere, even the local machine, after checking the console log I found the following which seemed like it could be related:

--------- Starting Dedicated Server ---------

Exporting server prefs...

Starting multiplayer mode

Binding server port to default IP

UDP initialized on port 28000

Unable to initialize IPX - error 5

Tracing that back to the Net::openPort() function in x86UNIXNet.cc I can see that it tries to open both a udp and an ipx socket and it's the bind() function for IP that is failing and I am assuming the reason why nothing can connect.

Can anyone help as to why this is failing?

For your information on my ubuntu version I got the same message whatever the mode used with torque dedicated or without this option.

It seems that is a "normal" message ...

I use a client/server session without dedicated mode for the server and it works correclty

IPX is a separate protocol. "Usually" unused on linux-based systems, so you can just ignore it or even comment the warning in sources.
