Re: MTCP:dosbox with ne2000 patch cannot setup DHCP

The problem of the op. I don't quite follow, do you have networking via the ne2000 patch without a harddrive image? At least on Windows, the NE2000 patch does not require a hard drive image. The error message indicates that DHCP from within DOSBox is setting packets delivered. Chances are they are …

What problem does using the hard drive image in DOSBox solve? On Windows XP I use the emulated drives that share storage with the host operating system and I don't have any problems. Is this a Mac specific issue?

Hey, Thanks again for your video, Mau1wurf1977! :D I tried out the steps on my 486DX4 system, and got it working! The only thing I couldn't do, is DHCP reservation, since the dang Westell router doesn't seem to offer that, at all. :( Thankfully mTCP still obtains an IP, so that helps a ton! …

I think that 10BaseT is the correct term - it is twisted pair wiring whether it is 10 Mb/s or 100 Mb/s. Note that you are not going to get full line speed (100 Mb/s) with a packet driver and DOS. Packet drivers don't do things like TCP checksum offload, and they require two interrupts for each …

I am a little biased so take this with a grain of salt. mTCP was designed for an 8088 class CPU. As a result, it is blistering fast on later hardware, like 386s, 486s and Pentium class machines. On a faster machine (Pentium 133 with 100MB/sec Ethernet) you will be limited by the speed of DOS …

mTCP uses the packet driver specification so you need to load the packet driver for your card. If your card does not have a packet driver there is a "shim" out there that will make your ODI driver look like a packet driver. (I have no personal experience with those.) mTCP has a large amount of …

Booting Win98 is useful if you want to do drive letter sharing. But if all you need is an occasional FTP command, that is pretty painful. I am biased here, but I know that the mTCP FTP client has some features that the standard command line client in Win98 does not have. Support for "passive …

The connnection is not very reliable though. Once I load the packet driver, it connects to the other laptop, and I can run one mTCP program. When it's finished it closes the connection and I have to reload the packet driver to connect again. Maybe MS Network Client will keep the connection open. I …

I'm having a hard time picturing what is going on. It would help if you would be very specific about what works and what does not work. For example, you say that mTCP applications can talk to the outside world (web sites) but can't ping the host - what host? Are you comparing DOSBox with mTCP on a …

IBM sold some variants of those AT-Lantic cards. They have two operating modes. The NE2000 mode might not have the advanced features that the other mode has, but it at least works ... Although the rate of updates has slowed I am always looking for suggestions for improvements ... Enjoy, Mike

If you have a machine that you can not stuff another card in or do not want to leave a card in then consider parallel port attached devices. Parallel port Zip drives are great but you need to use the paid PalmZip drivers on 8088 class CPUs. For quick and easy networking use a Xircom PE3-10BT …

This card uses twisted pair (CAT5). A generic cable to a switch is all that you need. A cross-over cable would only be used if you are going directly to an Ethernet card on the back of another computer or if you are going to the uplink port of a switch. Keep it simple - don't do that until you get …

It is definitely a configuration issue. Have you ever used the card in this particular computer? You mentioned that you used it in a different computer, but not this one. You might be suffering from an IRQ or port conflict. Turn off "plug and pray" and use the tools the set the IRQ, port, and shared …

"Auto" on the clients really doesn't tell me enough. The mTCP FTP server defaults to "binary" transfers, so no translation should be done. If a client sets the transfer mode to ASCII for you because it thinks it is doing you a favor, that will change the interpretation of the newline character. …

This is a simple error .. you need to use binary mode for the transfer. According to the FTP specifications, systems are supposed to translate the "newline" character to whatever makes sense for them locally. Unix systems traditionally use just a line feed (0x0A) for a newline character. MS-DOS …

Keropi is obviously a fan, but I think it is even simpler than what he wrote. Take a look here for an overview of what mTCP does: http://www.brutman.com/mTCP/ And then download it from Google Code: http://code.google.com/p/mtcp/ The short story is that mTCP gives you a small fast FTP client, FTP …
