Hi all,
I'm doing some research, and I've got a CompactFlash NE2000 compatible RJ-45 10Mbits ethernet card.
I installed it in my HP200LX Palmtop, ran the required LXCIC enabler, and installed the packet driver at 0x66.
Then, I installed the complete mTCP package, made a custom .cfg file that uses my packet driver,
and everything works fine. I can telnet, FTP, etc... and also browse the web with the MICROWEB.EXE DOS webbrowser
that uses the mTCP stack for networking so all is working fine.
My question is, what would be the simplest / easiest to obtain, install / configure and works dependable and in a stable fashion software for mounting an SMB/CIFS share from a Linux server running SAMBA,
with simple username/password based authentication (eg no domain controller etc...)
It should be small (as I have to install it on my C: RAM drive, as the PCMCIA card slot is taken by the CF to PCMCIA adapter with the CF NIC in it),
so the whole installation should be less than 3MB preferably...
All I want to do is mount one share onto an MS-DOS drive letter, with the smallest possible software on my 3MB remaining RAM drive.
And, it should work on top of my packet driver for my NIC at 0x66,
and work together with mTCP, so I can for example mount a large volume of data on drive X:,
and then, if I need a file or something, I can FTP into the machine using mTCP's included ftpserv server,
which can serve a specified directory on that X: drive.
So, of all the different possibilities, what DOS software would you recommend I try for this ?
I've heard of lantastic, lan manager, and other products from the early 90's...
I would like for it to be as small as possible, and easy to install, as I plan on making a tutorial video about it for other viewers/users to replicate,
people with different levels of technical knowledge about DOS networking,
so ease of use and setup/configuration are important...
Thanks for your time! 😀
Cheers,
Radiance
