Hello all,

I am trying to setup dosbox to allow myself and several coworkers to play some legacy multiplayer games during our downtime at work. We're connected through a massive corporate tcp/ip network. Luckly, we're all part of the IT department so we have nearly limitless access to do this sort of thing.

I'm wondering if it is possible to specify the ip address that the ipxnet serverstart command uses. Or, rather, once I start the ipxnet server on my station, how does my colleague find the virtual ipx network?

When entering the "ipxnet status" command, it tells me that I am connected to 127.0.0.1 after starting the network. That is not my station's ip address. It seems that if there is a way to specify my own stations internal ip when starting the ipx network that my colleague would then be able to enter "ipxnet connect *mystation'sipaddress*" and it should work. There are no firewalls or routers between us and the default port should be open.

Am I missing something crucial here?

I looked through the multiplayer guide but the information regarding the ipxnet application was limited only to the proper syntax and usage of the commands.

Any help provided is greatly appreciated.
Thanks all,
