Hi Basudeb, a large number of network card drivers for DOS (not only for FreeDOS) is available on http://www.crynwr.com/ - of course DOS differs from Windows in that there is no kernel network stack. Instead, you compile your networked app with a network library like Wattcp or Watt32. Drivers for popular chipsets like Realtek rtl8139 are also based on the crynwr framework but are available elsewhere in the web. I cannot tell you if WinPE is useful for you - I think PE means "tweaking any version of Windows, like Win98, to make it bootable from a readonly medium, like CDROM"? Win98/PE has far more features than any DOS in that case, but will also put a lot more load on your hardware (and have less secure networking...).
