Not sure, but this (Win)Pcap lib allows the NE2000 patch to talk directly to the machines Ethernet-card. You need to find something similar for OSX.

The people on the pcap website should know about that - if you do a Google search there seems to be a pcap for Mac indeed. Don't expect too much though as I didn't test my patch on big endian computers.

Gonna test it with this http://www.linville.org/dsniff.html
It's very old but I'm gonna try it.
h-a-l 9000 can you also tell my wich libraries ? just libpcap I guess ?

> just libpcap I guess ?

Yes.

Compiled it, created dosbox.conf file, found the NE2000 stuff so the patch works. But h-a-l-9000, you're the creator of it, your readme said : The first time you run DOSBox with this patch, set the 'realnic' value to 'list'. The list of interfaces will appear in the DOSBox Status Window:

realnic was standard set to list but when I opened DOSBox nothing happens, I don't see the list.
I actualy want to install it in Windows 3.11 in DOSBox, wich driver should I use ?

Thanks

I had to install that Pcap/libcap thing (in Windows) before the 'list' thing worked. Looks like libcap is not installed/not working for you.

The DOSBox Status window is the console, not the main DOSBox window. If it can't find pcap there should be an error message in the status window.

For Win3.11 you should use the NE2000 or NE2000 compatible drivers but you must boot it from a DOS image for the network to work.

Indeed, compiling went wrong,
gcc -O2 -I. -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -c ./nametoaddr.c
./nametoaddr.c:370: error: conflicting types for 'ether_hostton'
/usr/include/net/ethernet.h:120: error: previous declaration of 'ether_hostton' was here
make: *** [nametoaddr.o] Error 1

The DOSBox Status window is the console

OS X doesn't have that.

you must boot it from a DOS image for the network to work.

Never tested it with Windows 3.11 because when I tried to boot MS-DOS 5.0 and 6.22 DOSBox gave me an error.

If you run it from a Terminal session that should allow you to see any error / status messages. Also, is the console optional in the compile? Did you disable it?

Ran it from Terminal and saw this :

1CONFIG: Using default settings. Create a configfile to change them

5Network Interface List 
6-----------------------------------

No list...it ends there.

Could it be that the list won't show up because while compiling libpcap I got this ?

1gcc -O2 -I. -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -c ./nametoaddr.c 
2./nametoaddr.c:370: error: conflicting types for 'ether_hostton' 
3/usr/include/net/ethernet.h:120: error: previous declaration of 'ether_hostton' was here 
4make: *** [nametoaddr.o] Error 1

And I don't think it's an option to compile it with a status window.

Found out that I was using a out-dated version of libpcap, the new one does just the same. No list in the status windows. Why do I need that list actualy ?

You need root access rights to get to the network interfaces.
Or add yourself to the permissions somehow.

And about the list please read the dosbox.conf comments...

When I do it with root access I get this :

Network Interface List ----------------------------------- 1. en0 (no description) […]

Network Interface List
-----------------------------------
1. en0
(no description)

2. fw0
(no description)

3. en1
(no description)

4. lo0
(no description)

so I replaced "list" with en1 (because I'm using that) and when I ran it again from root I got

Using Network interface: en1 (no description) […]
Show full quote

Using Network interface:
en1
(no description)

Unable to open the interface: BIOCSRTIMEOUT: Invalid argument.

could it be it doesn't work with en1 (wireless AirPort) ? Tomorrow I can test it with a LAN... (en0)

Looks like returning immediately is not supported on your platform.
So no NE2000.

Tried en0 today and it also gives the same error. I think you're right, no NE2000 on Mac...
But one more question, is it normal that I have these things in the list like en0 en1 fw and something else I forgot? or what's normal to appear there ?

en0 = adapter 1 (LAN)
en1 = adapter 2 (Airport)
fw0 = ethernet over firewire
lo0 = loopback

I got it working on OS X! but I can't seem to find the right drivers... does anyone no a good driver that I could download (preferred for Windows 3.11 but Windows 95 is also good)

Thanks!

They are built-in.
