Hi
I just compiled dosbox source for linux. I ran it, and created the config file. I opened the config file and saw that there was no [ipx] section. I created one and put ipx=true.

Then i started the emulator, tried ipxnet startserver but says that ipxnet is illegal command. Then i tried to type ipx=true and says illegal command! How can i enable ipx support?

By having the sdl_net library installed?

1+1=10

did you re-compile dosbox after installing libsdl_net?

1make distclean
2./configure
3make
4sudo make install
5make clean

Best regards

Rolf

Common mistake: Installing just the library package, but not the corresponding development package. The first contains the actual library, the second contains information needed by the compiler how that library is used.
