| Mar 7, 2020 at 7:29 | comment | added | Rowan Hawkins | My hazy memory was that you needed NIC drivers for the nic you are emulating that would have the network stack, but then you would need a protocol application to actually transfer the files. FTP, or TFTP. This is well before ssh. Netbeui would only work in Windows in 6.22. you could possibly mount virtual files via a CD, but most of my experience at that time was on a netware network(IPX) which was designed to transfer files to and from the netware server. I know you want to run dos, but you should really look at the dos in 98se for a more robust file share capability. | |

@ThorbjørnRavnAndersen As far I know, they do not. But the ethernet NIC gives as ethernet-level interface, i.e. we can send and receive 802.3 packets by bios calls. It has same port/irq (maybe DMA) settings, these need to be configured in the config.ini . Possibly there is some .sys file to provide a tcp/ip, it might be given by the emulators by default or not. Autoconfig provided by pci or isa-pnp is probably not supported. (Ps: welcome back :-) might you consider a vote change here? I improved the post to not suggest com.sun.* any more :-) )

| Feb 23, 2020 at 18:35 | comment | added | peterh | You might also try DOSEMU or DOSBOX, they are probably better in ISA (or non-PNP) settings. | |
| Feb 23, 2020 at 18:33 | comment | added | peterh | PnP is not very strong on DOS, I think this emulated NIC should be somehow given to the DOS drivers. It probably it requires some setting in the config.ini, and some corresponding setting in the virtualbox (possibly these vbox settings are available only in the xml config file of the VM). | |
