You changed the subject/title line. In Gmail, that broke the thread and made your 2nd message into a new thread. > I now have a version of FreeDOS 1.2 with the NIC and MS Client installed and > working.

OK. I see your point, and it is a valid point. However, the thing is this: > it needs a USB dongle to activate a licence to give it full funtionality. If this app is copy-protected and needs a dongle, then I suspect it won't run in a VM, because the dongle won't be connected to the VM. How about just running Windows 7 32-bit in a VM, and trying that way? You already have it, presumably licensed. > Shame FreeDOS does not let you specify a different username in the net use > command. NET USE is not part of FreeDOS. It's part of the MS LAN Client for DOS. The client does let you log in and out, and the username can be changed... but I haven't used it since the 1980s or maybe early 1990s. -- Liam Proven ~ Profile: https://about.me/liamproven Email: [email protected] ~ gMail/gTalk/FB: [email protected] Twitter/LinkedIn: lproven ~ Skype: liamproven UK: (+44) 7939-087884 ~ Czech [+ WhatsApp/Telegram/Signal]: (+420) 702-829-053 _______________________________________________ Freedos-user mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-user
