OK, so I don't see anyone else mentioning this, but am I the only one who wants to try SWars in multiplayer?
I can't seem to get it to work at all.

I wonder if it'd work if I used a serial port and a null cable...

For a LAN game, all you do is run the Launch Multiplayer shortcut in the GOG Games\Syndicate Wars folder, start one computer as host and the others as clients. Then on the host computer go to system > multinet and press initiate and have the other computers join.

This is an quite old post, but I also want to play multiplayer. The thing is its not working for me.

I opened the Multiplayer Launcher and created a server and a dosbox screen appears with the text "...IPX Tunneling Server Started". Then I open the client is connects ("IPX Tunneling Client connected to server at 127.0.0.1."), but nothing happens (the game doesn't start). What am I missing?

EDIT: For some reason, after I installed some window's updates it worked.

How fun and worthwhile is the MP in this game?
