Heyyyyyyo,
Dos Quakeworld won't work cuz I don't have a dos packet driver. I got a 3com 3c905-tx pci nic. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Get the 'etherdisk' for the 3c509 series.
905, not 509! Deeerp!

Contains disks 1 and 2 of the etherdisk set. All of the DOS stuff for that series nic.

This one seems to lack the packet driver?
Anyway, in case of problems with the latest driver, here are earlier versions:

Darn I tried this and it crashed my pc in windows. Should I run it from dos? Should I put it in the autoexec or config? What command line parameters should I use? Sorry just trying to get some more info cuz I don't know anything about dos networking

the best overview of dos networking was on the freedos wiki. but it's down right now and archive.org doesn't work either, so read this and this. but really, even the documentation included with drivers from back then should be enough to set it up.
another useful thing is, there are tools like loadsys that allow you to load drivers even after booting, so you can for instance put this in dosstart.bat and just load the drivers when rebooting to DOS, instead of loading them every time in config.sys. just one option of course, you could also mess around with boot menus etc.

Thanks that's awesome! I think the wayback machine works but everything else on archive doesn't. I'll check out the freedos wiki
