Ok, it may seem like an archaeological work to look for dos eth. driver and in fact meaningless sense since you go online with other OS, But in using dos/freedos I believe that the possibility of going online is a basic problem. And this regardless of the limitations of browsers such as links and arachne which are well known.
otherwise freedos will be a limited program, at least for common users Il 20.01.2021 01:41 Karen Lewellen ha scritto: > Hi Tom, > I have no idea about pure freedos, but I can use the links browser for DOS > in its full graphics mode to go on line in pure ms dos. > It is not my preference, there are things about the browser which do not > speak well, and it does not seem to support cookies. > Still, I have no issues doing google searches, or reading some local > news sites. > If Links for DOS supported Cookies I would use it more, mainly I use > sshdos to a shell service instead. > Never tried Arachnid for the same lack of speech issues. > Just my take, > Karen > > On Wed, 20 Jan 2021, Thomas Mueller wrote: > >>> Hi, I wanted to ask a question about dos ethernet driver. I think it's one of the most satisfying thing using dos to go online. You know the problem: is to find ad load the driver you need, especially for laptops. Ad it's very hard. For example I still use an old Acer aspire 1300 ad I load the Via fetpkt ethernet driver ( thanks to George Potthast driver collection) and it work fine; so another Acer with Broadcom B44 odi. But maybe it is luck! Now I am trying to load a diver for a toshiba satellite with Marvell Yukon eth.card: I found the driver (yukodi driver) and it would seem to work, and system says it loaded odi packet driver and so on, but neither Arachne no Link go up on internet. I have a wattcp.cfg (My_ip = dhcp), as usual, but they fail. ( The laptop is good and goes up on internet with Slacko/puppy - I've partitioned HD). Any ideas? Or you think it's now too tiring and useless to go online with dos? (I use pure freedos 1.2 and 1.3.)

I have never been online with present computer using FreeDOS, haven't tried any other DOS; now online with NetBSD. Here is what NetBSD says about my Ethernet, from /var/run/dmesg.boot : re0 at pci2 dev 0 function 0: RealTek 8168/8111 PCIe Gigabit Ethernet (rev. 0x06) re0: interrupting at msix2 vec 0 re0: Ethernet address d4:3d:7e:97:17:e2 re0: using 256 tx descriptors So I use FreeDOS very infrequently. I wonder if there is any way I could go online with FreeDOS using PXE boot. I would be very limited in what I could do online with FreeDOS, but it would be nice to prove it can be done.
