I have recently installed warcraft 2 using dosbox on my vista 32 laptop and I want to connect to two macintosh (OS 10.4.11 I think) computers that are running warcraft 2 normally, without using dosbox. I've gotten IPX to work in dosbox, but I can't get it to work on the mac side. The macs can connect to eachother using the TCP\IP option, but it's not given to me in the dosbox version. Is there a way I can get all three of us to connect up? I'm looking for a way that the macs can use IPX protocol, or for Warcraft 2 in dosbox to give me the TCP/IP option. Thanks for any help!

The other option is using the Windows-native WC2 Battle.net edition on the Vista PC instead of the DOS version.

The DOS version of WC2 had only IPX and serial support IIRC because those were the two main ways that DOS PCs could talk to each other back then.
