So you are looking for a possibility to establish a TCP/IP-network with plain DOS? There are two candidates: both from Microsoft and (astonishing) both freely available. MS-client from ftp.microsoft.com/softlib/mslfiles/WG1049.EXE LAN-Manager from ftp.microsoft.com/BusSys/Clients/LANMAN/ You will find MS-client also on the CD of NT-Server in the client-directory. Your NIC must have NDIS2 drivers (every old ne2000-compatible NIC will work out of the box, some others are also included but I don't remember which ones). This is enough to establish SMB-connects (Windows-Networking, for FreeBSD you will have to install the Samba-package). If you want to use "normal" internet-services like telnet, ftp, or www , you must add a DOS-packet-driver, for example DISPKT9 from ftp.cabletron.com/pub/unsupported/dispkt9.zip Hope this helps Siegbert To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
