The wiki seems to be okay as I look at it now: http://wiki.freedos.org/wiki/index.php/Networking_FreeDOS_-_mTCP
The wiki is slow, that's true. For a while, I've been planning to move it off where it's hosted now (SourceForge shared project hosting) to where I'm hosting the main FreeDOS website (Dreamhost). The Dreamhost servers are much faster. SourceForge has had some unexplained downtime in the last few months, where web hosting or database hosting has gone down and didn't tell anyone (a) that it was happening or (b) what happened. That might explain what happened when you got the "500 error." You can see on their SFNet_Ops twitter that they've announced maintenance work, but nothing about outages. https://twitter.com/sfnet_ops So I think I need to get started with moving the wiki to Dreamhost. I think the best plan is this: 1. Find a new web name for the wiki (help.freedos.org or docs.freedos.org or ..?) 2. Set up the new website on Dreamhost 3. Freeze edits on the old wiki 4. Install & configure the wiki software 4a. Copy the databases & files 5. Update links on the website to use the new wiki 6. Decommission the old wiki 7. Re-point "wiki.freedos.org" as an alias to the new wiki (so any links people have that go to the wiki don't break) So, what seems like a good wiki website name? I'm open to ideas.
