Thanks a lot :) Although I was'nt thinking of doing much coding myself (just the graphic UI / interface design), I can use this to compile in Borland Turbo Pascal to see what the font will look like. I'm a C/C++ developer for a living, and the last timer i wrote any pascal code was when I wrote a …

It is not possible to change the font in CGA/EGA Actually, it is possible in EGA text mode. Ok, so for consistency I suggest we stick with the standard PC DOS/console font.

Okay, newbie question with double-speed.

I have 4Gb FAT16 partition in my Debian dedicated for EtherDFS. According to Wikipedia it can be up to 16GB for 256kB clusters (FAT16B table on the right side). Thanks, I thought 2GB was the max for fat16... But, I'll try the vfat filesystem first, i'd like to have a 32GB drive, which won't work …

Mine is formatted as vfat. With filenames, just make sure everything is in the 8.3 format. EtherDFS simply can't read beyond 8 characters, and if you're copying folders with such files in them, the process will error out when it gets to them. I'm gonna (tomorrow, it's late) try to make a 32GB vfat …

Yep, you can do that. EtherDFS will report a ~2GB volume size to DOS for obvious reasons. But my shared drive is 120GB! ok, but, on the linux box, what type of filesystem do I format as ? msdos (eg fat16) has a max of 2GB size. The etherDFS documentation recommends using msdos/fat16 for the …

Good stuff! And yeah, EtherDFS is very fussy with filename compliance. Where DOS itself will just truncate long filenames with ~1, EtherDFS won't tolerate them at all. I had to spend a bit of time sanitising the DOS share on my server this week. BTW, I created a 2GB "msdos" type filesystem in a …

Result. 1. Turns out I'm having trouble with one of the NICs on the server. I've migrated to the other one and things are working. 2. I'm an idiot. When you're setting a static IP in mTCP, you don't need to run DHCP.exe. You just enter your addresses in config.txt and the other mTCP utils will pick …

On my DOS machine I load the packet driver, then have mTCP assign the IP, then run EtherDFS to map the network drive. What I haven't attempted is subsequently using an mTCP application such as FTP. Curious now, so I'll try it! Could you ? (try it) I'm extremely interested to find out if they both …
