how do i do it? i know there are guides for the earlier versions of dosbox but none for 0.70.

It might sound stupid, but did you try doing it in the same way as for the older versions?

all of the guides refer to a section in dosbox.conf that doesn't exist so that causes a little confusion. plus IPX in dosbox is a little confusing anyway

I haven't tried networks in dosbox yet but it seems fairly straightforward , there is a section in the .conf file that needs to be altered to enable it and you then run 'ipxnet' from the dosbox command prompt , if you type ' IPXNET HELP' then it will list commands that you can use.

As far as I can see ( I will try a set up later when I have time ) you first start a server on one of the computers with 'IPXNET STARTSERVER' and then connect to it from the other computer with ' IPXNET CONNECT ' and just add the IP address of the computer running the server to the end of the command ie: ' IPXNET CONNECT 10.0.0.15 ' .

to check the status and see if the computers are connected you can use ' IPXNET PING '

This should then run a virtual ipx network over the TCP/IP network that you have in place so you would obviously need to be connected to the other computer via TCP/IP first it appears to indicate that Inet connection would be fine , although if you are behind a firewall or router you will need to configure them to allow pass through

- the section of the CONF file is as below, just change it to ' true ' -

[ipx]
# ipx -- Enable ipx over UDP/IP emulation.

ipx=false

The server needs to be set up in the DOSBox configuration file like this:
serial1=nullmodem

The client:
serial1=nullmodem server:
