Yes, Virtualbox 3.2.6 did crash if an Expanded Memory Manager was loaded. I wrote a bug report about that last summer [1]. Today I had time to try FreeDOS with the new Virtualbox 4.0.0 and the bug is FIXED. So this is good news! :-) I just played around with the installation I did last summer and networking seems to work fine from within Virtualbox. At least ping and surfing with Arachne worked. The packet driver needed for Virtualbox is pcntpk.com from the package amdpd.zip [2]. For file exchange with my host system (Ubuntu 10.04) I run the FTP server ftpsrv32 from the watt32 suite [3] in the Freedos guest and connect from my host with Filezilla. Of course you can also use MS-Client, but most times I am too lazy to do that. The new ftpsrv app from mTCP works, but at least on my system seems to have problems with showing correct DOS paths. For instance it shows c:\ as "c:/\". So f.i. creating new directories in filezilla doesn't work without manual correction. regards Uli [1] http://www.virtualbox.org/ticket/3365 [2] http://www.crynwr.com/drivers/amdpd.zip [3] http://www.filegate.net/utiln/utilnet/wt32apps.zip ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Protect Your Site and Customers from Malware Attacks Learn about various malware tactics and how to avoid them.
