There are a number of Internet browsers for DOS, most are text based browsers. Arachne is by far the best DOS graphic browser.

The trick is making sure you have freed up enough memory in DOS to allow the program to run.

There are different ways of doing this;

1. RAMDRIVE/RAMDISK-there is a text file that comes with Arachne that explains it, I think it is called ARAMDISK.txt.

2. QEMM-a memory manager for DOS that so far, when I have used it, freed up enough memory to properly run Arachne.

You will have to search the Internet for QEMM.
