You could use Dosbox. Dosbox has many options for scaling, so your LCD wouldnt mess up anymore if it was fed with its native resolution @ 60 Hz.

Better use Dosbox. It has IPX tunneling through TCP/IP. If you want to give it a try, look for the command IPXNET at the readme. You will also have to forward the port to the other PC or to use some VPN. Anyway, games from the Dos era rarely like the latency of an internet connection, so dont be …

Most likely its a bug in DosBox. I think I can remember some problems with Settlers using DosBox 0.71. You will have to upgrade to 0.72 which is the current version.

Mouse drivers only provide one pointing device. Even if there are more connected to your computer, there is always only one 'cursor'. Therefore settlers 2 needs to acces the second mouse directly.
