Uli, Willi Wasser ,and anyone else...
Thank you, I downloade the NTOOL you mention, actually the whole
group,utiliys,etc,
>WillI Wasser:which i called NTOOL. It can be
downloaded from here: http://www.bttr-software.de/products/jhoffmann/,
>me:
as I am not home yet,I have not tried it.
I am useing the CRYNWR dirver that came in the freedos package, on the Big
computer, it appears to have loaded good. On the lap top it dose not load,
For The Laptop aspire series AOA150
Nicscan results: bus: 2 device: 0 Function: 0
PCI vendor: 10EC = Realtek Semiconductor Co.LTD
PCI device; RTL010E PCI Express Fast Eternet controller
is what the laptop says
and when FreeDos starts, it say failed,: to install Packet driver (CRYNWR)....I
did note
on some of the previous links you showed, a list, showing what driver is
recommended,I dont remember if it include Realtek,I think it did....
>ULI,:I think years ago with DOS 5.1 you may have connected the two
computers with a parallel cable and used a software like laplink to
connect them. This is also possible with freedos and you don't need
any drivers for it.
Ok I still dont remember the software name, but yes it was the parallel
cable,or null modem?... anyway I got looking close at the laptop, the only
socket, that looks like it could be, is described in the manual, as only for a
screen(VGA)...and it dose work for that.
Could it work? as the big computer has 2 sockets, and more...I doubt the laptop
will
be able to connect that way, so the Cross Over, cable...is probably my only
option,..
>ULI:Networking the two computers and transfer files over a crossover cable
is also possible, but it is a bit more work. The one thing you need to
find is a DOS driver for your network cards.
This might be either a "packet driver" (which is the easiest to use),
an "ODI" driver (file name ending "*.com", you find it in a directory
called "netware", "nwclient", "ODI" or "VLM" on the cards drivers
disk) or a "NDIS" driver (file name ending "*.DOS").
Which network cards exactly are you using?
On The big computer,I need to check and see what card it uses,I dont have it
handy,
as I am in a internet cafe right now
When you say Cross over, is that the one that uses RJ8,(i think), it is like
what I call "phone jack", anyway it is what normally would go to a
modem....sorry I am so ignorant
on terminolgy(names)... When I try what the cross over cable(phone jack)
type,...I suspect it cannot work as because probley the big computer dose not
have a eternet card,it is older, if connected to a modem, with the card
..probley it would work.
>ULI Transferring files and directories can then be done with a lot of
tools. I think I would use a ftpserver and a ftp client. The method
over IPX, I wrote about two days ago, works, but it is not very
user-friendly, so I cannot really recommend it.

Uli
PS: I really like your website.
Well thank you very much on that, I am almost kinda "shy" on that, as I
realize it is
not like most sites,and also it still is missing alot ..although I have a
windows html editor,
I don't use it much, A lot was written just useing the FreeDos editor,I should
add
I like ( above) http://www.bttr-software.de/products/jhoffmann/, (the site
design), also the free dos site is very nicely designed too,
Just one last comment, I just recently started to uderstan a little in
writeing qbasic stuff,
I installed the qbasic program into my FreeDos partition, I haveing a lot of
fun with that,
as I never had written anytype of program, just some batch file
stuff...FreeDos,also has some,what appear to be neat editiors for program
writeing, but I dont know enough, yet
to be able to use them, but hopefully soon I will.
thanks every one for the help..
