Please write a summary of the tricks you needed to make it run. When I last tried, a generic "bootable DOS USB stick" worked at once, but had problems with FDAPM ACPI. FDAPM APMDOS worked okay, though, as far as I remember. I also have an updated LBACACHE which works better with BIOS USB drivers: Let me know if I can email it to you for testing. > Second, are the drivers required to run the TCP/IP stack > specific to the ethernet device in a computer?

Most people use Wattcp or, with 32bit compilers like DJGPP (GNU C for DOS) Watt-32. It is a library that you link into your binary, and it includes DHCP :-).
