I'm using DOSbox 0.63 for Windows and I'm trying to get a network game started in the Doom shareware version. But whenever I type anything into the DOSbox prompt about IPXNET (Such as IPXNET STARTSERVER <[insert port number here]> It says IPXNET is an Illegal Command. This happens consitantly. It's hard to have an old-school LAN party when IPX doesn't work. Is there something I'm doing wrong? If you need to know anymore about the issue, let me know.

You don't add the line.. you modify the existing one. It's at the bottom.

probably you have a ipx=true line, and then later on an ipx=false at the bottom.

So its like you turned it on and then turned it off again within the config file.
