My advice ... Your problem reports are confusing. You say that something is not working, but it had been working before. If that is the case, what are you changing? If you can't remember what you changed then it is time to slow down and take some notes. The general method for getting a

I downloaded VirtualBox and got FreeDOS running on it with networking (WATTCP clients) using a Windows host. (Sorry, no macs here) It looks like a correct packet driver is in fact PCNTPK.COM, so check if that is in your autoexec.bat file. I also tested and verified that it is possible to
