C:\Program Files\GOG.com is the default directory for where GOG installs it's games. Note: Make sure that "C:\Program Files\GOG.com\Dungeon Keeper\DOSBOX\DOSBox.exe" is the correct directory for where you installed the game. "C:\Program Files\GOG.com\Dungeon Keeper\DOSBOX\DOSBox.exe" -conf nf -noconsole -c "exit" It will then tell you to type the location of the item. Right click on your desktop, go to new and select shortcut.Ģ.
But if you deleted it or lost it, don't worry, just follow these quick steps:ġ. Now if you have already got the Dungeon Keeper game icon that the gog.com game installer puts on your desktop automatically, you can skip this next part. OK, now that we have the important stuff out of the way, we can finally get on to making the server and getting clients to connect! So let's start by setting up the server. Since I'm running the server on my machine (Windows Vista) I found my machines IP address to be 10.0.0.2, so I just typed that into a notepad file and left it there for now. NOTE: I would recommend you record this IP address down somewhere because we're going to need it later. (Steps taken from go there for more information) The window that appears will display the IP address. Click the Support tab, and then click Details. To view the IP address of a wireless adapter, double-click Wireless Network Connection.ģ. To view the IP address of a wired connection, double-click Local Area Connection. From the Start menu, right-click My Network Places, and then click Properties. Look for the address next to "IPv4 IP Address".ġ. To view the IP address of a wireless adapter, click View Status to the right of Wireless Network Connection.ģ. To view the IP address of a wired connection, click View Status to the right of Local Area Connection. This opens the Network and Sharing Center. From the Start menu, right-click Network, and then select Properties.
Your IP address will appear next to "IPv4 Address".ġ. To view the IP address of a wireless adapter, click Wireless Network Connection (Network Name).ģ. To view the IP address of a wired connection, click Local Area Connection.
In the system tray, click the network connection icon and select Open Network and Sharing Center. To achieve this (There are many ways but I found this to be the easiest), follow these steps:ġ. Let's say you're going to be hosting the server and you need to give other people your machine's IP address so they can connect to your server. To make things a little easier later on, you're going to need to know the IP address of the machine that's hosting the server. The way that multiplayer works with Dungeon Keeper is that you need one machine to run the game in 'Server' mode and the other machine(s) to run in 'Client' mode. So before we get started, I'll give you a run down of the process we're going to follow to get this baby running.
NOTE: THIS HAS ONLY BEEN TESTED ON WINDOWS MACHINES (Vista mainly). Once the client(s) is connected, get the person running the HOST version of the game to make a new game through the IPX protocol in the multiplayer menu and get the client(s) to join.Īlso you don't need to forward any ports if you're on a LAN network, and hamachi does work (along with any other VPN type software).īut if you're still stuck trying to set up a game, follow the instructions below.
To do this scroll down to where I talk about how to find the server's IP. When the clients connect, they will be asked to input the server IP, you need to input the IP of the machine that's hosting the server. To get a multiplayer match up and running straight away, go to your start menu, then gog, then Dungeon Keeper, then click on network, then get the person hosting the server to select HOST, and the people that are connecting to select CLIENT.
