I'm hoping that someone who uses networking for a game has solved this one.
With FreeDOS 1.1 on real hardware, I installed MS-DOS Network Client, which successfully initializes with TCP/IP via DHCP.
But when I try to set up access to a share on the LAN with "net use z: \\server\share" and enter the password (with a user name that matches the Win Vista peer server account), I get "Error 5: Access has been denied."
Likewise, "net view \\server" yields the same error.
And "net view" yields "Error 6118: The list of servers for this workgroup is not currently available."
Linux machines on the LAN connect to the server OK with the same account.
I tried disabling SMB2 via a registry entry (per https://www.petri.com/how-to-disable-smb-2-on … -or-server-2008), but this made no difference.
Based on someone's advice, I also edited the Registry to change HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa\LmCompatibilityLevel from 3 to 1, which did not help either.
After noticing that I could not even ping the server, I found ftp://ftp.microsoft.com/misc1/BUSSYS/LANMAN/KB/Q130/5/38.TXT. Adding the server name to the HOSTS file allowed a ping of the server to succeed, but the net use command failed as before.
Widening that ping probe, I tried pinging google.com and got "DGN0217: Remote name cannot be resolved."
Anyone know how to fix this?
