Re: [Freedos-user] Freedos & Arachne

[andrea936]

  

Thanks, to you and Louis, 

 but also I have been using Links -g
for a long time and am quite satisfied. However, as freedos still has
Arachne in its package -in fdimples- and there is also a new release of
Arachne 1.99, I thought it was still usable in freedos ( I still
remember the polemic ten years ago on freedos -user -mailing about the
request to abandon Arachne from freedos.) 

regards

I second that, Links 2.25 is nice especially on slower machines ( i run 
real ones , one 100 mhz and one 1000 mhz).

You might try Links2 Browser in graphics mode. 2.25 is the latest version.

[Freedos-user] Freedos & Arachne

[andrea936]

  

Hi!
I have used Archne for a long time many years ago.
Currently,
both in freedos 1.2 and 1.3, ( no dosbox ) even with the latest release
of Arachne it is in fact impossible for me to use it.
 I know of
arachne's well known issues with https and jv, but it also seems to not
recognize the normal wattcp.cfg I use with links, lynx or gopherus. In
fact I have to manually set my ip address, nameserver, gateway and even
then it is very slow and often crashes. Even in off-line mode, for
example as a .jpg viewer, it is very slow and tends to freeze.
 Are
there any underlying incompatibilities with freedos? is the 16 bit
problem? a recognition problem from my ADSL fast fiber line?
Yet, I
repeat, with my ethernet drivers both links and gopherus are fine and
fast.
thanks Andrea

[Freedos-user] FreeDOS, Arachne, and VirtualBox

[Louis Lev]

Hello all,

I am a FreeDOS newbie, and hope to get Arachne up and running with my Ulrich 
Hansen VBox image-- no luck so far!  I am able to ping and wget with success, 
but Arachne doesn't seem to recognize the dhcp.  My Wattcp.cfg:

my_ip = dhcp
IP = dhcp
netmask = 255.255.255.0
gateway = 192.168.1.1
domain_list = mydomain.net

In my arachne.cfg, I have included in tcp/ip:

IP_Address = BOOTP
TCPconfig = lantcp.cfg

I have tried in the Arachne setup directing everything to my wattcp.cfg, no 
luck.  I have also tried the fixed address settings, not working either.

I have had trouble with my Avast Antivirus blocking things (Host, Win7, I had 
to enable Internet Sharing)-- could this be a firewall issue?


Any tips or tricks would be much appreciated,

Louis
