Hey guys, I live in Italy and want to play online MS-DOS games with my friend who lives in Brazil. I have a pentium 3 with windows 98 (not DOS BOX or emulator) and my pentium 3 is already conected to internet.

I have tried to use kali.net but I can't connect to the kali server. Is there a problem with kali.net, problem with my connection or do I have to play online using another way?

Thanks for helping

Seeing this maybe working today made me 🤣 a bit, and I looked at the website, kali.net.

It still seems to be going! The wikipedia article backs it up.

Anyway, I think the answer to your problem is on the kali website:

Important: the default Kali Tracker port has changed. To connect, go to the File menu, select Settings, and click on the Advanced tab. Enter "tracker.kali.net:2213" in the space next to "Kali Tracker:". Restart Kali and all should be good!

This all feels like a recipe for malware, I'd personally approach it probably by having a VPN between modern machines, and a non-routing LAN inside with the retro stuff.

Good luck though!
