| − | DOSBox networking works in a client-server architecture, where one machine acts as a server and all the others connect to it as its clients. This provides virtual IPX network routed over the TCP/IP protocol.
| |

| − | ==Server==
| |
| − | To start acting as a server, issue the following command.
| |
| − | ipxnet startserver 19000
| |
| − | where 19000 is an example of a port available on a local machine. This port must be forwarded and open to the outside network if a server is hidden behind a router (NAT).
| |
| − | | |
| − | ==Clients==
| |
| − | To connect to a server, type the following command.
| |
| − | ipxnet connect 123.456.789.023 19000
| |
| − | where 123.456.789.023 is the IP address of the server and 19000 is a port number on which the server listens to incoming client connections.
| |

| − | Once a connection has been established, you can start playing your game and connect using the in-game multiplayer functionality.
