Hi Tom, hi Sébastien, @Tom: Thanks for the help! At least in my installation of FreeDOS 1.1 in VirtualBox I had to load all three drivers into low memory.
1?DEVICE=C:\NETWORK\MSCLIENT\PROTMAN.DOS /I:C:\NETWORK\MSCLIENT 1?DEVICE=C:\NETWORK\MSCLIENT\ATL1E.DOS 1?DEVICE=C:\NETWORK\MSCLIENT\DIS_PKT.DOS Loading PROTMAN.DOS high would just stop and freeze the machine. Loading the NDIS driver high (in VirtualBox this is of course PCNTND.DOS, not Sébastiens driver) leads to some colorful dancing pixels ;-). Loading DIS_PKT.DOS blocks the last line in FDCONFIG.SYS to be executed, which is: 12?SHELLHIGH=C:\FDOS\BIN\COMMAND.COM C:\FDOS\BIN /E:1024 /P=C:\AUTOEXEC.BAT But loading all three drivers low solved the issue! :-) I was even able to load JEMMEX with the line: 1?DEVICE=C:\FDOS\BIN\JEMMEX.EXE X=TEST I=TEST I=B000-B7FF NOVME NOINVLPG so it accepted B000-B7FF. I end up with 586,752 bytes free, which seems OK for everything. Of course for me this was just a test scenario. In VirtualBox everyone would just use the native packet driver PCNTPK.COM. But nice to see it works. Thanks a lot!! @Sébastien: Great to hear you got it up and running! :-) I would be interested to see your AUTOEXEC.BAT, FDCONFIG.SYS and SYSTEM.INI if this is okay with you. There are not many people in the world, I guess, who are using FreeDOS with network shims, so it would be nice to see how others do it and to learn from it. If it's too sensitive info or you don't have the time, just ignore it. :-) Have fun Ulrich ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Download BIRT iHub F-Type - The Free Enterprise-Grade BIRT Server from Actuate!
