ipx = true | false

Enable IPX over UDP/IP emulation.
.

Default is false.
.

(since 0.62)

i'm guessing you have to set this to true. (and have an TCP/IP network working in windows)

----

also for other networks settings: they are set by default to false.

This is a very old topic indeed, but to make it work on Windows (XP) you will need to do the following.

Configuring DOSBox to allow IPX networking.

Quote:

1. Open up the DOSBox Config.
2. Scroll down to [ipx].
3. Edit "ipx=false" to "ipx=true". If it already says ipx=true you don't need to change anything
4. Close DOSBox Config.

Allowing Fragile Allegiance to enter Multiplayer.

Quote:

5. Open up your Fragile Allegiance install directory.
6. Search for config.ini and open it with notepad or something (config.ini should be in the main directory).
7. Edit "Network=NO" to "Network=YES" (should be located at the very bottom of the ini).
8. Save and Close the ini.

Starting up DOSBox and creating a server.

Quote:

9. Start DOSBox.
10. Type ipxnet for a list of commands and help.

From here on you can connect to an existing ipx server in dosbox or create your own new server.

11a. To start a server type "ipxnet startserver".
11b. To join a server type "ipxnet connect %SERVERIP%" , where %SERVERIP% is an existing dosbox ipx server IP.

12. Now you should be able to fire up the game (with using the mount c:\ and mount fakedisc etc.) and enter the multiplayer section of the game.

At the 11th step I recommend using a program like hamachi or something like that. The IP of the person that starts the server will be the IP of hamachi or other client for the people that want to connect to the network.

... it really makes me wonder why did you resurrect this. why did you do it? the person doesn't even visit this forum anymore most probably he already solved his problem with velik's advice

I actually posted it for other people still googling the network problem, its the reason why I came here and I figured the more the solution is presented the faster people will get it too work hehe.

I didnt actually expect a reply on this either at all. I was actually thinking people wouldn't notice this for like a year at least, but I think I'm forgetting that this forum here actually is still a live and that I only read these topics about fragile allegiance. Google sure is a powerful tool.

Btw there are only like a couple of hits on google if you google network problems with fragile allegiance.

I'm sorry for necroing this thread, but I hope you can understand where I was getting from.

Greets,

A random googler.

I was just Googling this yesterday, gave up, and continued today. Thank you Uncle Jack for the info.

Thanks for the help, but we do not encourage necroposting here.
