Also successfully tested by me, on my old Dell laptop (Win7 Home,
64-bit), to work with latest VBox 6.0.2 ("released January 15 2019",
aka yesterday).

guest drivers to not detect the emulated hardware (bug #18286)"):

Forum thread ("Unrecognized PCnet-FAST III (DOS VM) with VirtualBox
6.0.0 (#18286)", posts dated from Jan. 2 through Jan. 8):
* https://forums.virtualbox.org/viewtopic.php?f=1=91069

regression) => fixed in svn"; "Opened 8 days ago", "Last modified 3
days ago"):

I'm grateful that the VBox developers are so diligent and broad-minded
about issues like this.

Which means you should file a bug report with the folks at Virtual Box. 
Good luck!

Just to add that a WinXP guest using PCNET Fast III also works under
VBox 6.0 so it looks like the PCNTPK packet driver might be too strict
in checking. In case someone wants to look into this.

Thanks for the help - sounds like VBox 5.2 is the way to go.

Well, Using VirtualBox 5.2.22 r126460 on macOS 10.13.6 High Sierra…

The defaults of NAT and PCnet-FAST III (AM79C973) work fine with the FDNET 
networking package.

Yeah I encountered that problem with VBox 6.0 on a Linux host last month.

I haven't looked into it because I don't know when/if I'll need the
FreeDOS VM again so other stuff take priority. I finished using it to
run an 8048 emulator under DOS a few months ago and I fired up FreeDOS
under VBox 6.0 out of curiosity.

I did a quick test though, I set the virtual NIC on the same VBox on the
same host, but for a Linux guest, to PCNET Fast III instead of the usual
Intel E1000. Linux worked fine with that virtual NIC. So it seems that
VBox 6.0 and the packet driver don't like each other any more.

You could run FreeDOS networking under the previous VBox 5.2 series, it
works fine there.

Hi,

If you've successfully used networking in FreeDOS recently, and nothing has
changed on your end, it may be a new bug (regression) in VirtualBox's
newest 6.x series. But I haven't had the time to confirm it myself. You may
wish to read their forums or check the bug tracker. Not sure when they will
get around to fixing this. (At least that's my weak guess from what little
I've read elsewhere.)

[Freedos-user] TCP/IP stack will not initialize

[Steve Owens]

Hello -

I've loaded FreeDOS within VirtualBox according to  the online
instructions. It works but I can't get networking to run as per the
instructions. A screen capture of the problem follows.
It looks like the packet driver for PCNTPK ver. 2.0 is at one location
(segment 02B7) but is looked for in another (0x60) by mTCP. The statement
"PCNTPK-DOS-015: Device not found" also appears.

Has anyone had a similar issue? I am running Windows 10 on an AMD based PC.

Thanks!

- Steve O.
