I've found that the ADM PCNet adaptor in QEMU (-device pcnet) with the matching DOS drivers work well under FreeDOS. I wasn't able to get any of the other QEMU emulated ethernet devices to work properly under DOS.
I spent a lot of time fighting with the Intel adaptors - it seems the QEMU emulated Intel adaptors are pretty new, and the Intel DOS drivers are pretty old. I finally gave up and went back to AMD PCNet. I was able to use NDIS2 drivers with MSNET (using TCP/IP bindings and talking to a Samba server) as well as packet drivers with the DOS based TCP stacks. Also works well with etherdfs. Hopefully that saves you some time (I spent a lot of time troubleshooting these adaptors on the DOS side.) - Darrin On Tue, Sep 6, 2022 at 3:41 PM Jerome Shidel <jer...@shidel.net> wrote: > Hi, > > > On Sep 6, 2022, at 11:43 AM, Phil Reynolds < > phil-free...@tinsleyviaduct.com> wrote: > > > > I had FreeDOS 1.2 working quite nicely, networking included, on qemu, > > but I am lost as to (a) how I originally achieved it (b) how I might do > > likewise with 1.3 - is there any specific documentation I can follow? > > By default during the boot process, FDAUTO runs "FDNET.BAT start” > > The “start” option tells FDNET to only run on known compatible virtual > machines (ie.
