Hi all, brand spanking new to this mailing list, and I’m just setting
up FreeDOS in a VMWare machine.
I would very much like to get the networking setup so that I can
create shares to be able to exchange files with the host machine, but
for some reason ‘net’ and related commands don’t seem to be present.
I’ve installed all of the network options from the CD, and it connects
to the network just fine. I can use lynx to do some very crude
browsing, so there is connectivity there, so I must be missing
something here.
Well, first of all, connecting to the Internet via TCP is not
"connecting to the network".
How to do that, so you can access shares, well, that depends on a lot of
different things. For one, what is your VM host network and what kind of
network shares are you trying to access. There is certainly no Microsoft
"net" command with FreeDOS, though I am not sure if there is such a tool
with any Samba client included. Also, most likely you can connect with
any such Samba client only to SMB 1.x enabled hosts, and that is for
years now usually disabled on modern hosts due to vulnerabilities..
