Try mTCP (with suitable packet driver; e.g. NE2000 or PCNTPK for QEMU or VBox): 1). http://www.brutman.com/mTCP/ 2). http://www.freedos.org/software/?prog=mtcp There's various other apps listed here: http://www.freedos.org/software/?cat=net Another is Mateusz's PicoTCP (DOS), but there aren't many apps using that (yet): http://picotcp4dos.sourceforge.net/ > 2. FDNPKG doesn't work ether so far; Grab latest binary from SF.net (although if it already worked, you could presumably get it to "update" itself). It uses Watt-32 (DJGPP). 1). http://fdnpkg.sourceforge.net/ 2a). http://watt-32.net/ 2b). http://na.mirror.garr.it/mirrors/djgpp/current/v2tk/wat3222br6.zip (not needed unless recompiling something) > 3. I'm *not* a developper. Actually, overall it might be better if you first read the wiki about using VBox: http://freedos.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/VirtualBox Or you can download premade virtual machine images (already configured networking): https://www.lazybrowndog.net/freedos/virtualbox/ > All I am is a enthusiast FreeDOS guinea pig in VirtualBox. > > My goal is to test and make help FreeDOS 1.2 as good as the the complete > FreeDOS 1.0 CD-distribution. FreeDOS 1.1. sucked big time IMO, due to > the lack of additional package sets. Which packages did you miss / need? There were much left off, yes, but that's unavoidable (without more developers and volunteers and without free-r licenses). What do you wish to download automatically that you can't find on your own?
