Hello,

I'm trying to play the game Warcraft 2 in Dosbox (0.72) with 2 computers using a home network behind a router.
I have tried to configure the serial port and I receive the following message: Serial3 : warning : tried to activate FIFO.

computer server
Config file: serial3=nullmodem port:5000 rxdelay:5000

computer
Config file: serial3=nullmodem server:192.168.1.42 port:5000 rxdelay:5000

Then in addition I have tried to use IPXnet Config, the server seams running but it is unable to make a connection with the remote computer.

computer server
mount c c:\war2
mount d d:\ -t cdrom
c:
ipxnet startserver [5000]

computer
mount c c:\war2
mount d d:\ -t cdrom
c:
ipxnet connect 192.168.1.42 [5000]

My computer server’s specs are:
Proc: 2.0GHz
Mem: 1GB DDR2
OS: Windows XP Home SP2
Game: Warcraft 2 TIDES OF DARKNESS

My computer's specs are:
Proc: 3.0GHz
Mem: 2GB
OS: Windows 2000 Pro SP2
Game: Warcraft 2 TIDES OF DARKNESS

Anyone have any idea?

I don't know about the serial stuff, but you need to read up on the syntax for the IPXNET stuff.
