Hi Andrea,
OK, just at a glance, you already have the functioning packet driver
when you load ODIPKT, the ODI driver lists the MAC address, line speed, etc.
What it appears FDNET is doing is attempting to identify and load an
additional packet driver, using the configuration in MTCP.CFG within the
package, which is not correct. You can see this here:
*/System: [345]86 processor, ISA bus, Two 8259s /*
*/Packet driver software interrupt is 0x60 (96) /*
*/Interrupt number 0x5 (5) /*
*/I/O port 0x300 (768) /*
*/My Ethernet address is FF:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF /*
The interrupt is 5, whereas the interrupt/IRQ for the Broadcom card has
been successfully found at interrupt/IRQ 6.
I'm not sure what you are trying to get working in Freedos but you are
well on the way to getting TCP/IP working. The packet driver is
installed and working from what I can see, FDNET is not necessarily
required here if you want to use the MTCP tools (DHCP, etc), you can
load the MTCP tools separately and get the same thing. Are you familiar
with this?
Thanks,
Dean.

All right. it works.
This is what happens when I "add" fdnet bat:

It is clear that ther's a conflict, (and I don't know what it is) but other
than that I am doubtful that
fdnet .bat is useful for those who only use freedos and not vb.

Hello Andrea,
Perhaps you can post some screenshots of the messages you are
receiving when the packet driver loads?
Thanks,

*hi at all *
*in freedos1.3 there is in C:/fdos/bin the program fdnet.bat. **Ok: wiki.fredos.org explains that it is a program for virtualbox,
and that in case you have a freedos without virtualbox you have to
write a line first with your ethernet packet driver.*
*Well, i don't have virtualbox and i don't understand why i have
to load my packet driver in autoexec.bat (or fdauto, bat.) I
prefer to load and unload it according to memory needs, time by
time.
Good. however i tried to add my packet driver to my autoexet.bat
right before on the line produced by fdnet.bat .
It don't work.
Responds: /dhcp request send:error, your ethernet card report an
error for every packet sent.Check your cablin ecc..../
and my Ethernet card driver don't work too; then I've to delete
all the last line on my autoexec.bat ( and reload my ethernet
packet driver)to go on line.*
*Is there any explanation on how fdnet.bat works? thank you*
