Walkthrough

1
Run Q95.BAT with the command line parameters -NOIPX and -WINMEM 8 -WINPACK 12. For example, navigate to your Quake directory (default is c:\quake_sw) in a DOS box and type: 'Q95.BAT -NOIPX -WINMEM 8 -WINPACK 12'. This initiates Quake and configures its TCP/IP (Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol) settings.
2
Navigate to the 'Multiplayer' menu. Refer to section [4-2-5] for detailed information on configuring game options.
3
Once configured, other players can connect to your Quake game over the internet. You will need to provide them with your IP (Internet Protocol) address.

Tips

A good place to find other players is the #quake channel on IRC (Internet Relay Chat).
Ensure you have quit all other applications before loading Quake.
