use ndis driver instead, is more modern than the odi driver,.it works for me with laptops of 10gen intel processors and the same Realtek chip, more info in my website www.packetdriversdos.net ;)

It may be that I have undertaken a futile endeavor, but I have been trying to get a Zimaboard with dual Realtek 8168 NICs working on FreeDOS. I must say that for an ancient IT guy, this has been a blast from the past having to go back to the days of loading up ODI packet drivers. However, I am just about to give up. I load up in the following sequence and this much at least works, or seems to. LSLRTGHODI.COM (asks me to select which of the two cards it finds, to I tell it the one the network cable is plugged into, NIC 1)ODIPKT.COM 0 96 No errors at this point and it seems I have successfully loaded the packet driver into memory. The load up seemed happy enough with the settings in the NET.CFG.(It took a lot of work to get all the files and information together to get this far! LOL) After that, I try for DHCP.EXE from the mTCP distribution and get the following:Init: could not set up packet driverCould not initialize TCP/IP stackAnd then a message from FDNET.BAT (I think) that the Network is unreachable/unavailable, obviously as a result of the TCP/IP stack not being initialized. Am I pursuing an exercise in futility trying to get DOS networking going with what I presume to be very modern NICs? If so, not a huge loss but I feel like I am so very close. By the way, I am running FreeDOS 1.4-r2 with the very recent mTCP that is included. Everything networking with mTCP does work perfectly with the same in a Virtualbox setup. If y'all have read this far, thanks very much for your time!
