Hi
I have two chromebooks, both with ubuntu on it. When I try to play multiplayer games, the ipx won't work.
I did:
Computer 1:
Z:\> ipxnet startserver 2000
IPX Tunneling System utility for DosBox

IPX Tunneling Server started
Z:\>C:

Computer 2:
Z:\> ipxnet connect 123.456.7.89 2000

And it says it fails. What do I do?

Thanks

1. The Second Computer has Chrome OS with XFCE4 on it, and the first Computer has Chrome OS and KDE. Could the OS be the problem?
2. I did the IP of Computer 1 on Computer 2.

The OS's should be fine. As the last person queried, are both computers on the same LAN? If they are, I'll also repeat my second question: Is port 2000 open? You can check by google searching "port open test".
