Re: [Freedos-user] FreeDOS in proxmox

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 th

Re: [Freedos-user] FreeDOS in proxmox

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.

Re: [Freedos-user] FreeDOS in proxmox

Can you ping in the other direction? It may be that the bridged vmbr0 interface does not pass or there is nothing in the networking stack that listens for ICMP packets. See also https://forum.proxmox.com/threads/solved-cant-ping-windows-vm.65736/ On Mon, Dec 19, 2022 at 2:42 AM Trever Noggle w

Re: [Freedos-user] FreeDOS in proxmox

That worked.  Thank you.  I did discover that I now have network access in freedos but it does not respond to ping requests.  There are no firewall rules that would prevent this on my lan and I removed the check in the firewall box in proxmox for this host. Is there something that needs to be s

Re: [Freedos-user] FreeDOS in proxmox

I just setup Proxmox 7.3.3 to do some testing Brett Johnson. Had no issues installing FD 1.3. Chose "OS Type" as "Other", switched "Network Device" to "rtl8139" and "Firewall" as "1". Installed by hand packages "FDNET", "MTCP", "CRYNWR". There's no option for passthru or private on the "Networ

good day to all, a query, how can I get FreeDOS, according to HP told me that I have to request them from you to be able to generate the tests with your equipment, otherwise, the guarantee does not continue. First of all, Thanks El jue, 27 oct 2022 a la(s) 09:42, Dale E Sterner (sunbeam...@juno.co

Thank for the tip; I had no idea that could be done. I delete the s from the url and hit return it worked. I wonder what they are using now for cerificates, my browzer is loaded for bear and I still cann't connect. cheers DS On Mon, 17 Oct 2022 11:51:58 -0400 Jerome Shidel writes: > Hi, > >

Yes, or if you want to have HTTPS in WinXP, you can set up retro https proxy gateway on 2nd machine (Linux router, Raspberry Pi or newer Windows 7/10 device, MacOS etc). I recommend WebOne project: https://www.vogons.org/viewtopic.php?t=67165 On Mon, Oct 17, 2022 at 5:53 PM Jerome Shidel wrote:

Hi Daniel! I am tryin to install FD on a Dell PC with an 80 gb partition. I tried as I prefered it spliting into 4 partitions, and as one large partition. When I boot into the live CD all seems fine, but after it does the formating and installing, I get a bunch of errors about the partitins.
