I got Lynx 2.8.5 running on FreeDOS in Virtual Box on Windows. I was able to
navigate to yahoo.com and some other spots.
There are some "anomolies" in the way Lynx works compared to typical WATTCP
programs.
It looks like Lynx is using WATT-32 which makes sense in retrospect since Lynx

Thanks mate. I saw the error message I got is "Bad Controller" then I
checked the README of UIDE it seemed UIDE does not support that
controller. So is there a controller list which UIDE supports? And is
there any special configuration in BIOS while using UIDE driver?
Thanks very much.

I downloaded VirtualBox and got FreeDOS running on it with networking (WATTCP
clients) using a Windows host. (Sorry, no macs here)
It looks like a correct packet driver is in fact PCNTPK.COM, so check if that
is in your autoexec.bat file.
I also tested and verified that it is possible to loa

Note that "manually" should be "automatically" in the above.

You may need to step back and try reading up a little on DOS. If you don't
understand what a batch file
is or how to run commands from a given batch file manually you will find li
How do I load the packet driver manually? I have been running autoxec.bat via
reboot to load the packet driver.

My advice ...
Your problem reports are confusing. You say that something is not
working, but it had been working before. If that is the case, what are
you changing? If you can't remember what you changed then it is time to
slow down and take some notes.

If NTOOL tells you "bootp/dhcp failed" it means exactly what it says. But this
can have two different reasons. Either your packet driver is OK, but no dhcp
server answered NTOOL's request. In this case there must be a problem with the
dhcp server.
Or your packet driver did not load properly, p
First, it was not necessary to re-install FreeDOS.
Lynx, Ntool, and all other WATTCP programs are applications, not part of the
operating system.
The only OS related thing to consider is whether the packet driver is loaded.

hello,
I reinstalled freedos to get a fresh start.
I just now have been fooling around with ntool and mTCP.
just now I got dhcp under mTCP to work. but now it isn't working. I can't get
ntool to work either?
when I run dhcp through mTCP I get an error: failure to get dhcp address. check
