I'm attempting to configure games for LAN play using DOSBOX. Whenever I use ipxnet startserver the server only starts with a localhost IP address and doesn't pick up the host PC's IP.

Can anyone help?

An update on this. Its down to the Windows Firewall. If you are experiencing the same issue then the port needs adding for the server, or turn it off completely.
