I connected to a friend's server, but when I tried to host a game for another friend, he could not join me. I have a linksys router which I have opened up port 213. I used to use dosbox 2 years ago and hosted without problems. Now i can't seem to get past my router. On my own computer I can successfully connect to my local IP, but not to my public IP. I have downloaded and installed the latest version of dosbox.
with the command ipxnet startserver things seems fine. I can open up a second dosbox session and join my ip assigned from my router, but not my public IP.
I'm using zone alarm and immediately the program asked for and received permission to allow dosbox to access the net. I'm stuck and would appreciate help.
