The latest/newer version of 3c5x9pd.com doesn't work. You have to get the older 
one.

[Freedos-user] Some networking present

[ZB]

Partial success - it turned out I was expecting too much.

I still cannot rely on the tools shipped with FreeDOS (I mean the ones by
M. Brutman) - but some of the utilities from that old Trumpet 2.01 package
seem to work, just they are (compared to Linux tools) rather cumbersome,
that's why I thought ping2 didn't work, while in fact it works - just quite
differently.

Anyway I was able to ping and to log into FTP server - so I can assume
network is present

[Freedos-user] No network

[ZB]

Trying to do some networking from within FreeDOS - no luck so far.

I'm using 3C509 ISA networking adaptor. It went just fine all the test using
its testing utility, it autoconfigured with no complainings, and when I run
batch file that loaded packet drivers the LED diode on my router went lit,
so I assume there's no problem neither with adaptor nor with cable.

I created a small batch file that:
- loads 3c5x9pd.com packet driver
- sets IP, GATEWAY, NETMASK, DOMAIN, DNS, MSS, RWIN for Trumpet (NTCPDRV.EXE)
  and runs it, of course

...and even added "just for reason" MTCPCFG into environment, poiting to a
file containing the same set of addresses

After I run that batch file all the messages on the screen seem promising,
no errors reported.

Unfortunately, unable to even PING anything. Although ping2.exe from Trumpet
package seems to be trying to send packets, nothing returns. DHCP can't get
a lease from router - that's why I created "static" configuration.

No tools for diagnotics, no idea what may be wrong. Any suggestions?

I tried even that older Trumpet - no difference.

Using kernel dated for 07.02.2012 (kernel.sys has 45494 bytes)
