Re: [Freedos-user] How to enable networking in a FreeDOS client?
Thanks mate. mTCP really works very well. Eric On Mon, Mar 14, 2011 at 6:06 AM, Michael B.

Re: [Freedos-user] How to enable networking in a FreeDOS client?
I forget to mention something, the NIC duplex mode is half duplex I think that's not normal. So is there any way to change that? Thanks.

Re: [Freedos-user] lynx
I am running lynx 2.8.5 it came with the version of freedos that I got. freedos 1.0. I am running freedos through virtualbox on my MacBook pro laptop running mac os 10.6.4. I was going to try and get lynx running. I haven't been able to launch it yet. I used ntool's -g command line option to redirect my network info to wattcp.cfg. I started lynx with: lynx -cfg c:\fdos\lynx\lynx.cfg because I had read in the lynx configuration I could use that, if lynx.cfg wasn't where lynx would look for it. I haven't been able to get lynx to startup yet.

I have opened lynxcfg.cfg and read some. when I type out lynxcfg.cfg it says a couple of things, 1. it has a comment right at the top and it calls the file lynx.cfg 2. it has a comment that says the default location of this file is: /usr/local/lib/lynx.cfg (unix) I am running mac os x, which I think is a form of unix. I went into a terminal on my host computer but I cant find those folders they don't match my host computer. Michael Brutman asked an important question: What version of lynx are you using ? I add these other questions: 1) You say you are using mac os x. This means you are running freedos under an emulator ? 2) Where did you get yur version of lynx ? I would like to take a look at it. I use lynx everyday, but there are quite a few versions around, and they are not exact replacements of each other. I do not use an emulator, but run DOS (DR, Free or MS) as the operating system. AFAIK, lynx looks for a lynx.cfg file in the directory the lynx.exe file resides. You can change this by setting the environment variable lynx_cfg . This file is not strictly needed, because you may set all options in the command line, but there are so many options that it will be an awkward command line, to say the least.
