The one time I tried on OS X I thinl I needed to run Dosbox with sudo.
AND AFAIK you need to boot a hard drive image with Dos in Dosbox to make it work

I tried sudo but it doesn't work 🙁

and what do you mean by 'boot a hard drive image'? I can't make it clear.

Sample usage of a harddisc image in DOSBOX

Yeah, quick search confirmed it again, you need to boot a dos image in dosbox

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?

The problem of the op.
I don't quite follow, do you have networking via the ne2000 patch without a harddrive image?

Using Network interface:
wlan0

Does that mean you're actually using a wifi card? Most wifi cards are unable to spoof MAC addresses so they don't work in setups like this...

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 broadcast packets, as the DHCP request is never being answered. So maybe the DHCP request was never passed along and made it to the router.

Ok, might have changed. I think the reason for booting an image was the need for a working share.exe

Boot from an image is required when you need DOS network drive letters and such, or MS-Net.

Uh-oh...
Even if I used an image, I got the same problem. So maybe it is not the case.

Thank you!
Maybe this is the problem.
I changed to wire network and it works even without a disk image.

I'm trying to add the NE2000 patch to the most current DOSBOX SVN, and compile it under Raspian Linux. But I have no clue how to. Can anyone help?

Please don't necro post and especially don't hijack threads with an issue that is not the same one. Your problem is so different that you need to open a new thread for this.
