[Freedos-user] redirecting mTCP dhcp

[James Collins]

hello,
I have been trying to set up lynx on a computer running freedos.

I downloaded mTCP and tried to redirect dhcp to point to a file called 
wattcp.cfg. I changed into my mTCP directory where the dhcp exe is and 
redirected it by using the  character to a directory where I placed wattcp.cfg.

but I get an error when I try to run lynx saying that:

lynx file lynx.lss is not available 

it goes on to say:

all attempt (config-file/dhcp/bootp/rarp) to get a ip-address failed.

I have lynx.lss in two directories where I think lynx would look. also I have 
redirected dhcp which I got from mTCP, and I think is working correctly to 
wattcp.cfg. 

but I can't get lynx to startup.

any help would be appreciated

I'm not a Lynx user so forgive my ignorance ..  but are you using the 
version supplied by Fred C. Macall?  In the past he has been very good 
about supporting DosLynx for other people.


The output from the mTCP DHCP client is probably not in a form directly 
usable by the WATTCP apps.  You are going to have to hand edit the 
output or write some code to convert it.  I have thought about adding an 
option to my DHCP client to do this for WATTCP apps, but I've been short 
on time lately and was hoping somebody else would do it after mTCP gets 
open sourced.


As was pointed out earlier, NTOOL is another possibility.
