I purchased an old favorite of mine from Steam, Conquest of the New World.

It's a great game, advertised as PvP Online, and was put out by the DosBox Curator.
The new startup function even allows to setup the server and client or single player pre-launch with the DOSBox version that come prepackaged with the purchase.
I can get it to work flawlessly on the same LAN...

The port forwarding or whatnot, or firewall, or whatever it is that is blocking the connection over the internet is a solid cry.

Is there a dedicated IPX server available? Easiest solution. If not, can one of y'all help me figure out my issue?
I'd really appreciate it, my father and I played this all the time growing up and I'd love if we could again now, as would he.

Any help, greatly appreciated, thanks again!
