Hello everyone. I'm a new user to FreeDOS.
I have some questions that perhaps more experienced users might be
able to help me with. I am trying to get two computers to communicate
with one another (Basically a small network) I have been skeptical
about switching from MS-DOS 6.22 to FreeDOS purely for the sole
purpose of getting this network going and perhaps be a little easier
to configure.
My biggest problem was trying to get the drivers going for Personal
Netware. I have two Realtek network adapters for these supposed
computers. (1. RTL8169SC and the 2. RTL8139)
I just downloaded a bunch of drivers for each of them. I know they
were being detected by Microsoft Network Client.
Forgive me, but I am very new to networking for FreeDOS or DOS in
general. I've never done anything like this before, so I'm hoping to
get the proper guidance on how to go about this problem. It's been
pretty stressful trying to figure this all out.
I appreciate any feedback. Thanks.
I used to network FreeDOS with both Personal Netware as well as with my
Netware 3.12 server.
The problem, specially nowadays, is to have drivers for the network
cards that you are using. And for any version of Netware, the drivers
are different than the ones for the Microsoft Network client. And for
most newer network adapters/chips, there do no longer exist Netware drivers.
