This is a slightly strange request, i know. But i managed to get Windows 3.11 running in Dosbox. Now I know Dosbox is capable of emmulating a serial modem... I was wondering if anyone knew which type, as i can find nothing in the documentation.

Basically i want to install the correct drivers, so i can get the internet working in my Win 3.11 Vm.

AND you need to install Win3x on a disk image and not as outlined in my guide Windows 3.1x DOSBox Guide
The small written text at the end of the guide DOES apply though 😀

Google suggests it's a Winpcap issue. Maybe it will work with future versions. You could try administrator mode if not done already or a different network card.

h-a-l you might need a special forum section for questions on the megabuild or a forum section labeled "officially unsupported dosbox builds" for all others that offer unofficial builds 😀
