Stronghold Crusader LAN Help

I cannot play stronghold Crusade LAN. It is an old game so it has only a few connection options, such as: IPX, TCP, Modem, and serial connection. I just want to play LAN. There doesn't seem to be an option there. I try to host a game in IPX but nothing happens, like the button isn't even there.
Any help would be greatly appreciated,
