Partial success - it turned out I was expecting too much. I still cannot rely on the tools shipped with FreeDOS (I mean the ones by M. Brutman) - but some of the utilities from that old Trumpet 2.01 package seem to work, just they are (compared to Linux tools) rather cumbersome, that's why I thought ping2 didn't work, while in fact it works - just quite differently.
Anyway I was able to ping and to log into FTP server - so I can assume network is present -- regards, Zbigniew _______________________________________________ Freedos-user mailing list Freedos-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-user
