Hi!

It is possible that you need to use a newer kernel or have
to load the right version of SHARE. Which versions of both
are using at the moment? Which other drivers do you load?

What is fshare, is it open source? Does it have a website?
For open source, the source tells what exactly it needs.

I guess it is something to access host directories from
DOS running inside Virtual PC? It might be for Windows?

Our monthly test releases

https://www.ibiblio.org/pub/micro/pc-stuff/freedos/files/distributions/test/report.html

contain for example VMSMOUNT

https://www.ibiblio.org/pub/micro/pc-stuff/freedos/files/repositories/unstable/html/en/net/vmsmount/20260419.5/index.html

which can be used to access host directories from DOS
running inside VMWare.

You could also try the generic EtherDFS

https://www.ibiblio.org/pub/micro/pc-stuff/freedos/files/repositories/unstable/html/en/net/etherdfs/20250409.8/index.html

which needs a host part running on the host, for example in
Linux and lets you access a drive in DOS over the network.

There will be other similar tools I forgot to mention.

If you use DOSEMU2 (instead of Virtual PC or VMware etc.)

https://github.com/dosemu2/dosemu2

which is available as pre-compiled binary packages for
Ubuntu (probably also for Mint), Fedora and OpenSUSE,
accessing host drives actually will be very easy:

The default DOSEMU2 configuration is to use a Linux host
directory as the C: drive for DOS, using built-in magic
and/or drivers already included in the DOSEMU2 package :-)

Regards, Eric



Is it possible to have FreeDOS report itself as MSDOS?

Not sure if this is possible or even how some programs may work.

I work in FreeDOS in virtual PC 2007 and I am tryin to use fshare which
allows shared folders in VPC but it tells me that "folder sharing on this
host is not allowed" which makes me think it expects msdos
