Hej !

I'd like to know if there's a possibility to use some known ports to connect by IPX emulation?
When I'm starting server it uses 213 UDP (or other, but it doesn't matter anyway), and that's ok for me but...
When someone connects he have to get another port for himself and it appears to be random choice...
I'm connecting by router so I need to forward each port first, the problem is that I don't know which...
How can I define some ports in dosbox?

Thanks for any help 😀

You only need to forward port 213 (or whichever you start your tunneling server with) on your router.

There is no need for everybody to have a different port. If you are concerned about the port he *connects from*: it is chosen by the operating system and not relevant here.

But when I forward only 213 I can't establish any connection from net...only local 😒 It says that the connection have failed...when I try to do this in local network it works...

It works for other people (including me)... maybe some strange options of your router..

check to make sure you are forwarding UDP packets. some routers will only forward TCP packets.

Must run dosbox on windows 3.1 within dosbox......
