Hi altogether,

I want to get *FreeDOS* going within *qemu*.

Quite a long time ago I downloaded the respective iso-file and the installation went well. In principle *FreeDOS* works fine with the exception of networking. I simply can´t get qemu to let *FreeDOS* connect to the internet.
(Formerly I could; see below).

My command-line is:

qemu-system-i386 -m 32M -drive file=drivec.img,media=disk,format=raw -net nic,model=ne2k_pci -drive file=FD12CD.iso,media=cdrom -boot order=d

According to the instructions on http://wiki.freedos.org/wiki/index.php/Networking_FreeDOS_-_Quick_Networking_HowTo I installed FDNET, mTCP and wget in FreeDOS. So things should work. Yet they don´t (any more).

When starting FreeDOS everything looks right at first:

QEMU network detected

DHCP request sent, attempt 1: Offer received, Acknowledged
Good news everyone!

IPADDR = 10.0.2.15
NETMASK = 255.255.255.0
GATEWAY = 10.0.2.2
NAMESERVER = 10.0.2.3
LEASE_TIME = 86400 seconds

That used to work in the past. But things seem to have changed as of late:

When trying to use ping or the links browser internet connection doesn´t seem to be established:

configuring through DHCP...failed
configuring through RARP...failed
error loading ... URL
Host not found

I dont know whether it has something to do with the fact that my means of connecting to the internet has changed in the meantime.

I used to use a 3G-umts-stick (Huawei E 1550) , which was recognized as a modem and used "*ppp0*". My new 4G-stick is Huawei E 3372 and this one seems to work as a *router*; so my internet connection is recognized as *LAN* (wired) connection.

I´m guessing I have to change some settings in  C:\FDOS\WATTCP.CFG, but I´m not quite sure.

Can anybody help me , please?

Many thanks in advance.
Many greetings.

Rosika

P.S.:

my system (host): Linux/Lubuntu 20.04.4 LTS, 64bit
                  FreeDOS 1.2
