Multiplayer LAN

[KingPros]

Is there any way to play the game Multiplayer Mode through LAN network? Please let me know what I must to do?

Through DOSBox, you can do this on the host computer:

ipxnet startserver

Then on the client:

ipxnet connect <ip address>

That will allow both computers to connect on a fake IPX network over the internet. You will also need to enable ipx emulation (over TCP-IP) in DOSBox by adding this to your .conf file:

[ipx]
ipx=true

Woops. Apparently the DOS version never had multiplayer support? I guess I'll take some time to set up a guide for the Windows version.

You can, you need the 3DFX version (not that DOSBOX crap), add http://www.solemnwarning.net/ipxwrapper/ IPXWRAPPER to the game content, start the exe for configuring it on your computer, host as IPX in-game and your other computer on Windows 10 can join easily (with IPX patch). I think it's up to 4 or 8 players? Anyway, you're sure that this patch will work! (I have a lot of old games with LAN feature not working anymore on modern windows)

Would this work though Himachi? I'm trying to get it to work. When both computers are set to TCP/IP (in the in-game multiplayer menu) I can see the lobby, but can't join. I installed the IPXWRAPPER and hosted the game in IPX but I cannot see the lobby.

Any luck with the Guide?
2 PCs on the same Wi-Fi with Hamachi and IPX Wrapper do not see each other via Ignition multiplayer lobby.
