Hello,

When I try this webserver inside DOSBOX, I am somewhat more successful than if I tried it on a real dos machine, however it seems on the real machine that the server would lock up at any point and sometimes the first HTTP request wouldn't be processed at all and these requests are simple HTML requests that don't need an external program to complete.

I downloaded the original webserver software source from http://rubbermallet.org/software/webserv.html which is considered Freeware GNU GPL V3.

and I made modifications to it so that it can process dos EXE files. Yes I have dos EXE files that spit out HTML.

The server uses trumpet sockets which is loaded with the correct IP.

Do I need to do anything special in the MS-DOS environment or even with the packet driver to get this to work?

The only thing different between the dosbox packet driver I use (Ethernet over slip or ETHERSL.COM) and the real dos packet driver (Rhine or fetpkt.com) is the dos box one allows me to specify a buffer where as the real dos one does not.
