You need a working packet driver for your network card. That's easy if you're only using it under VBox or QEMU. In that case it's probably PCNET or NE2000. You should be able to get it from FDNET package from FDIMPLES (if CD / .ISO is still mounted). * http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/micro/pc-stuff/freedos/files/repositories/1.2/pkg-html/fdnet.html But DHCP depends on how the app was compiled. mTCP has its own DHCP.EXE while things built with Watt-32 need a separate .CFG file and environment variable set. Read the .PDF on mTCP's site if that's not obvious enough: * http://www.brutman.com/mTCP/ * http://www.watt-32.net/ Things like Links2 and Wget were compiled by DJGPP with Watt-32, thus they don't directly cooperate with mTCP. * http://links.twibright.com/download/binaries/dos/ * https://www.ibiblio.org/pub/micro/pc-stuff/freedos/files/net/links/ But our mirrored package of Wget is too old these days (circa 2008), and we haven't found time (yet) to update it (although 2015 build exists and seemingly works). Thus some sites don't work anymore (e.g. Github or SourceForge.net) due to older SSL/TSL being unsupported. * http://mik.dyndns.pro/dos-stuff/bin/ But do try latest Links2, it seems to work fine, at least under VBox. I can't remember every obscure detail, but "set WATTCP.CFG" shows "g:\utils" which is where "wattcp.cfg" resides, a simple text file that minimally says "my_ip = dhcp". But that's after "pcntpk.com int=0x60" is loaded in AUTOEXEC.BAT. Most of this should already be obvious if you install the FDNET package. Sorry, I'm really no expert, but that should give you a hint! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most engaging tech sites, Slashdot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot _______________________________________________ Freedos-user mailing list Freedos-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-user
