I haven't tried networks in dosbox yet but it seems fairly straightforward , there is a section in the .conf file that needs to be altered to enable it and you then run 'ipxnet' from the dosbox command prompt , if you type ' IPXNET HELP' then it will list commands that you can use.

As far as I can see ( I will try a set up later when I have time ) you first start a server on one of the computers with 'IPXNET STARTSERVER' and then connect to it from the other computer with ' IPXNET CONNECT ' and just add the IP address of the computer running the server to the end of the command ie: ' IPXNET CONNECT 10.0.0.15 ' .

to check the status and see if the computers are connected you can use ' IPXNET PING '

This should then run a virtual ipx network over the TCP/IP network that you have in place so you would obviously need to be connected to the other computer via TCP/IP first it appears to indicate that Inet connection would be fine , although if you are behind a firewall or router you will need to configure them to allow pass through

- the section of the CONF file is as below, just change it to ' true ' -

[ipx]
# ipx -- Enable ipx over UDP/IP emulation.

ipx=false

Serial modem connection -

The server needs to be set up in the DOSBox configuration file like this:
serial1=nullmodem

The client:
serial1=nullmodem server:

The Fifth Horseman It might sound stupid, but did you try doing it in the same way as for the older versions?
