Right. I thought about it later and wondered what the other DOS
stacks did. What does MS-NET or Trumpet do? Probably the same thing
as mTCP and WATTCP. I remember using ping in DOS to ensure
connectivity to Gateways and DNS, but I wasn't running any servers so
there was little reason to ping
Read the documentation for whatever networking software you are using.
mTCP in particular is not a "resident" program, so your FreeDOS machine
will not respond to ping requests unless an mTCP program is actively
running. WATTCP programs have the same behavior.
