Hello Louis, I finally got desire to mess with network in FreeDOS. I got somewhat the same results as you did: ping, wget works. arachne does not and takes 100% of CPU in VBox. But i think you missed this thing from Hansen VBox webpage: * After the installation choose the new VM on the left side of the VirtualBox window. On the right side scroll down to the "Network" section and click on "Network". * Enable the network adapter. Choose "Bridged Adapter". In the section "name" choose your hosts connection to the network (WLAN or Ethernet/eth0).
By default VBox uses NAT and not the 'bridged adapter'. Anyway, my ISP uses l2tp so i managed to allow arachne work with VBoxs NAT. Here's how i did it: Make sure you choose option 3 on this screen: (http://lazybrowndog.net/freedos/virtualbox/Vbox-menu11.png) Now, you get something like this: (http://i29.fastpic.ru/big/2011/1029/3c/a23500efe7270bd634d2263d5609e93c.jpg) Write down IPADDR,NETMASK,GATEWAY,NAMESERVER. Now open C:/FDOS/wattcp.cfg and modify it with your parameters. Here how it looks for me: (http://i29.fastpic.ru/big/2011/1029/66/ebbd618d7ef83fa04fe98b3c90e7de66.jpg) And now run 'arachne' and it should work. Sadly it has no cyrillic so its useless. :D Bye.
