I actually did browse your website in the past but I did manage to get lucky in my own way. I bought a brand new external ASUS CD/DVD-RW drive from best buy then I used another PC to download a floppy boot image from https://www.allbootdisks.com/download/dos.html and used a CD burning program (K3B …

See: https://www.dosbox.com/wiki/Network_Setup And: http://www.brutman.com/mTCP/ I have a setup working as follows: One PC runs Linux with a connection to the intenet and has DOSBOX running with packet drivers setup as per guide above. What is happening is that DOSBOX is connected to the internet …

When the real MS-DOS starts on an old computer, config.sys is processed before autoexec.bat but I want to know if there is a way I can run some config.sys commands. I'd like to be able to set the values to the following variables: FILES BUFFERS STACKS And is there a way to set the DOS environment …

Hello, When I try this webserver inside DOSBOX, I am somewhat more successful than if I tried it on a real dos machine, however it seems on the real machine that the server would lock up at any point and sometimes the first HTTP request wouldn't be processed at all and these requests are simple HTML …

I have a dell wyse mini thin client with a 128MB flash drive which I can setup dos on, but most of the time I want it to use it as a specialized hide-away server because it interacts with my custom hardware which connects to that computer through a serial port. Yes, I'm a tech at that. Now in order …

i'm looking for a way to test everything in DOSBOX including serial ports and such to make sure everything is setup correctly. I downloaded HWINFO for DOS from http://www.hwinfo.com/download.html and for some tests, they could not complete because DOSBOX exits and crashes with this error: Exit to …

Ok I figured things out. When loading the network packet driver in dosbox, I use this because I'm using COM2 at high speed and I use -p to prevent packets not designed for the box from coming in: ethersl -p 0x60 3 0x2F8 115200 Then I needed to make use of the following parameters appended to …

Ok, so I am running DOSBOX on linux with webserv downloaded for DOSBOX from rubbermallet.org and sometimes it serves pages fine to my linux browser and other times, I get reported "connection reset by peer" messages. I borrowed DOSBOX networking ideas from this url: https://www.dosbox.com/wiki/Slip_ …

I'm trying to monitor serial port output from Qbasic in linux. This is the value I use for serial1 in the dosbox config file under the serial section: serial1=nullmodem server:127.0.0.1 port:8002 transparent:1 This is my mini script to start dosbox with the serial port connection linked into linux: …

Ok I seemed to have figured it out. My setup is right but I modified the web server source code so much that it is outputting a series of null characters. I forgot that one part I did was a fixed-length string and I applied a string length check on that and it gave the full buffer space instead of …

Ok, so I'm debugging webserv.bas and now the trumpet socket driver is being odd. Anyways, I make the connection, the result headers print but the data body does not print yet in my code, I only instructed it to print out 198 bytes of code. Somehow its calculating that I'm putting out 511 or 512 …

Ok, so I did make an arp version of my startup script and when I used mTCP's ping , all 4 attempts returned a timeout. #!/bin/bash echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward socat -4 PTY,link="/tmp/dbnet",raw,echo=0 TCP4-LISTEN:"8001" & sleep 1 slattach -d -s 115200 -p slip "/tmp/dbnet" & sleep 1 …

wait nevermind. I took the nat entry out and now the ping does not work

The mTCP docs discuss a similar setup that uses Proxy Arp instead. I would use that as the basis of your setup, as Proxy Arp allows inbound connections to the DOSBox side. Ok, so I cleared my iptables and now I modified my startup script to be as follows: #!/bin/bash echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_ …

Your setup seems to be confused. If you are using NAT (Network Address Translation) on the Linux machine, then outbound connections from the DOSBox side will work, but no inbound connections to the DOSBox side can be routed. You need explicit rules to make inbound connections work. The mTCP docs …

Hello, After reading guides, I am able to access internet through DOSBOX but I want to also run a webserver designed in Qbasic with it but that part will not work. For the rest of this post, I'll call the qbasic web server the DBWS (for DosBox Web server). I got the web server software from here: …

..Thank god such forum exists... Anyways, So I bought myself a Dell Wyse V10L and I want to wipe out its hard drive and put DOS on it. Today, I bought a new USB DVD-RW drive and I managed to boot into DOS on the Wyse from my boot CD. Nice news is Drive A is recognized (as virtual floppy on the CD), …

I'm doing a big project in which part of it involves communication between my new PC, my old PC, and my custom hardware connected to my old PC via serial port (RS232). I tried Linux but it didn't work. Then I must try DOS because it's real-time. I did manage to get my network card up and running in …
