I've just noticed - Windows 98 has remmed some of the network lines. Is there any way to stop Windows 98 from doing that? Or will I have to dual boot with DOS 6.22?

Just so you know, I may be gone for another few weeks, but I will be back.

Thanks

Some..? It remmed all of them! 🤣

Just make a STARTNET.BAT file with all the commands, and remove them from your AUTOEXEC.BAT. That will keep windows from messing with it.
These drivers also eat a LOT of conventional ram, so you'll only want to load them when you really need them. With TCP/IP enabled they use about 165K!!

Actually, the ones that don't say "- By Windows 98 Network -" were remmed by me. I didn't want them to load if they don't work.

Making a batch file seems to have done the trick. Why didn't I think of that?

I've also been trying to get it working on the other computer I mentioned. I found a driver for it (SMC 1233TX), but when I enable file sharing I get this:

I most certainly do not have MS-DOS 242.12! 🤣 It's actually running on a standalone version of MS-DOS 7.10. I tried setver, but it didn't work. This did not happen on the other computer in Windows 98 DOS (also 7.10). Also, don't ask me how, but I actually managed to get the dos drivers to load once (but only once).

Thanks
