Hi.

Sorry, if topic abiut it is already on the forum.

I try to create connection with 2 copies of DOSBox with Win98SE. I planned to use it to play these by one copy on different PCs to Windows version of Dungeon Keeper, because not happy what DOS version works in 320x240 only - viewable part of map is small.

Connection with 2 copies of DOSBox is fine and dont have problems, but need do more steps to create a working IPX connection in Win98SE. My problem is I really dont understand whats need doing. I see some topics here throught google, but info is very uninform, because they all is about DOSBox+Real PC with Win98.

I will be very glad if anyone inform detailed, if it possible, intructions\guide about it, because working IPX on 2 copies on one PC will work on different PCs too.

Thanks.

Is this what you are trying to do? I'm confused.

That configuration will not work. Windows 98 SE will not run inside of DOSBox. You might have better luck with this:

I'm sorry, but you wrong. Post #9 from here - Glide 3Dfx and D3D emulation in DOSBox

Want to say - "wait Win9x support and 3Dfx\D3D in official\main line DOSBox"? I think while wait possible do something and play in "not official" DB Daum - run Win98SE, Windows games, run\do and fix 3Dfx and D3D emulation.

Otherwise much easier than waiting new version of DOSBox - go to the DOSBox Team and make possible Win9x and 3Dfx and D3D emulation in <official> DOSBox.

Simply exchange opinions pointless.
