If there's no application listening on the port, the port could appear "stealthy" for a scan from the outside, depending on how your router works, and how it's configured. Remember you'll have to open _and_ forward the port to the correct IP address in your LAN.

You could use 4DOS (still developed and freely available), which should support most (or even all) of DOS's switch because of DOS compatibility.

Also, check your settings carefully (IRQ/DMA/etc.). Have a look at the dosbox.conf file to see the actual values. Maybe disable SB via dosbox.conf, so that possible autodetection doesn't get confused. I think digital sound should work in all games without the patches.

Yeah a full tutorial on network connectivity (including a quick rundown on routers, firewalls, etc.) is probably too much. For pete's sake, if you have a problem, then _DESCRIBE_ it instead of saying "it doesn't work". You could start by describing how you want to run the game (LAN/WAN), and what …

Oh dear... What do you mean, "not in sync"? I think you mean while recording a video, but that's just a guess. Describe your problem, system. DOSBox settings, etc. .

I don't fully understand the OP's problem, but it seems he (or she) is trying to capture video with DOSBox, and doesn't get music in the captures, although it's playing during the capture. WCII has CDDA and MIDI soundtracks, AFAIK. I don't know if the CDDA music is captured (the OP should try what …

Hmmmm... I'm out of ideas, then. Don't have the game to test it with DOSBox. The DOSBox website says the game should be playable. Did you try installing the DOS version of the game in Windows, and then playing it in DOSBox? This is generally not recommended, but may be a workaround in this case. You …

Ehm... Elamaton, are you aware of Gulizoka's DOSBox build? It has a special output method "direct3d", which supports shaders. In the "Shaders" directory, there are files named (for example) "GS4x.fx", "GS4xHqFilter.fx", "GS4xScale.fx" and "GS4xSoft.fx". These files are relatively simple text files, …

I'm not sure which games supported the GUS directly, but i think most of them were "small" titles from European developers, mainy the ones coming from the demo scene. As Marek wrote, Epic had some games, and i believe the "21st Century Pinball"-titles came with special GUS support. The tracker …

The last game sounds like a description of "Thanatos". The game is quite crappy IMO, but the C-64 version (which i've played) has a superb soundtrack by the legendary Rob Hubbard. I pity you if you've played it on the CPC, as the CPC was _horrible_ in terms of sound and music (; . The CPC had a …
