Re: [Freedos-user] Balder: Can't move system files into \fdos
kernel.sys Tom Thank you for your answer, but I'm afraid you have to spell it out. There is no kernel.sys in the Balder image - at least not any that can be seen by a ls -al or find. the 'at least' part is important. and moving kernel.sys into a subdirectory is a bad idea Tom -- The Palm PDK Hot Apps Program offers developers who use the Plug-In Development Kit to bring their C/C++ apps to Palm for a share of $1 Million in cash or HP Products.

I must have gone blind... It's not kernel.sys but KERNEL.SYS and that's a difference to a unix guy. Anyway I should have spotted it. It works now - thanks.

[Freedos-user] Recommondatipn of TCP/IP stack, DHCP client
I have had great fun the last couple of day remembering DOS and enjoying the progress FD has made to plain old DOS. So far I have a boot floppy with support for both ATA and SATA CD-ROM and USB sticks. Very satisfying. But more wants more and now I try to get networked. I followed this guide: http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/freedos/index.php?title=Networking_FreeDOS_-_NDIS_driver_installation so now I have NDIS2 driver and packet driver up and running. I think, at least there is no error message and the driver takes up RAM. But now I need a TCP/IP stack and some basic network programs, most importantly a dhcp client but also ping, ftp, telnet... I've googled and searching the FD pages but haven't really found what I look for. Could someone please point me in the right direction. I somewhere read that the FTP Software Inc suite is freely available, but I can't find it.

I've googled and searching the FD pages but haven't really found what I look for. Go to Erick Engelkes website http://www.erickengelke.com/wattcp/ and download WATTCP. wat2002b.zip Binaries are in the folder apps as apps.zip Then go to the WATT32 site of Gisle Vanem. Binaries can be found in the file watt32b-2.2-dev.10.zip. Additional WATT32 programs can be downloaded here: http://www.filegate.net/utiln/utilnet/wt32apps.zip If you have installed the full CD distribution of freedos, you already may have some wattcp-programs (wget, arachne) installed on your system. There should be also a SET statement in your AUTOEXEC.BAT that points to the configuration file WATTCP.CFG. Edit this file like described in: http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/freedos/index.php?title=Networking_FreeDOS_-_WATTCP and start networking... ;-) I somewhere read that the FTP Software Inc suite is freely available, but I can't find it. Not that I heard of. But you may still buy it: http://www.bomara.com/FTP/products/pctcp5/default.htm Uli -- This SF.net email is sponsored by Make an app they can't live without Enter the BlackBerry Developer Challenge http://p.sf.net/sfu/RIM-dev2dev ___ Freedos-user mailing list Freedos-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-user

A packet driver suitable for your network card allone should already do the job. Neither do I, but I must admit it's 15-20 year ago I did DOS networking and frankly I remember very little. I decided to follow the guide on the mentioned freedos page and thus ended up with both NDIS and a packet driver. I assume I can lose the protman.* and the protocol.ini as well as netbind then? There are quite a number of TCP/IP stacks for DOS out there, many of them are commecial products. Rather popular and free, is WATTCP written by Erick Engelke, although it isn't a stack in the proper sense. Rather it's a library of TCP/IP routines that is linked directly into the application programs. For the user of such programs this doesn't make much difference. Basic programs, like PING, TRACEROUTE, an FTP-client etc. come with it. It isn't that difficult to set-up. All you need is a packet driver and a configuration file and there you go. An alternative might be the set of programs Mike Brutman wrote for his mTCP projects, which is also frtee. Yes, I think I'll try this one out first. It new and sexy, but agreed WATTCP is tested and tried. We'll see. Last, but not least, you might have a look on some of the networking programs i wrote which you will find here: http://www.bttr-software.de/products/jhoffmann/ I'll have a look for sure. Thank you.
