hello first, i would like to know... what kind of op.sys. is dos? is it a 32bit or a 16bit operating system? my problem: i got a 32bit citrix-client.... at dos-startup....dos notifies: "tcp/ip 1.0 successfull loaded" but my citrix-client always means: tcp/ip not loaded..... i really don't know, where the problem should be, because....in my opinion ... my files are configured well... i just need the tcp/ip-stack under dos...here are my configuration files... especially check the "system.ini" and the "protocol.ini".....and sorry... my english is very bad... here: ---------- autoexec.bat: C:\DOS\SMARTDRV.exe /X @ECHO OFF PROMPT $p$g PATH C:\DOS SET TEMP=C:\DOS MODE CON CODEPAGE PREPARE=((850) C:\DOS\EGA.CPI) MODE CON CODEPAGE SELECT=850 KEYB SG,,C:\DOS\KEYBOARD.SYS c:\dos\mouse.com cd net net initialize /dynamic netbind.com tcptsr.exe tinyrfc.exe cd .. rem net start dos7 voilą la config.sys: DEVICE=C:\DOS\SETVER.exe DEVICE=C:\DOS\HIMEM.SYS DOS=HIGH COUNTRY=041,,C:\DOS\COUNTRY.SYS DEVICE=C:\DOS\DISPLAY.SYS CON=(EGA,,1) FILES=30 device=C:\net\protman.dos /I:\net device=C:\net\dis_pkt.dos device=C:\net\EL90x.dos devicehigh=c:\net\tcpdrv.dos /I:\net device=c:\net\nemm.dos device=c:\net\ifshlp.sys ici, c'est la protocol.ini: [network setup] netcard=nic,1 transport=tcpip,TCPIP lana0=nic,1,tcpip [TCPIP] NBSessions=6 SubNetMask0=255 0 0 0 IPAddress0=0 0 0 0 DisableDHCP=0 Drivername=TCPIP$ BINDINGS=nic LANBASE=0 [protman] drivername=PROTMAN$ [pktdrv] drivername=PKTDRV$ bindings=nic intvec=0x60 chainvec=0x66 [nic] drivername = EL90X$ et lą c'est le system.ini: [network] netcard=EL90X.dos transport=tcpdrv.dos,nemm.dos devdir=C:\net [Password Lists] *Shares=C:\NET\Share000.PWL -------------- autoexec.bat & config.sys in folder C:\.... ....the 2 ini-files in folder c:\net... i really searched everywhere for a solution...but it seems, there isn't one... greetings and thanks for every answer pablo

DOS is a 16bit Operating System, (though there are 32bit versions, but not common) As to the TCP/IP stack: I have used Network Client 3.0 in a Microsoft Windows/DOS Network. Internet access/web server (LAN)/NeOS use Packet Drivers loaded through AUTOEXEC.BAT You could try a different TCP/IP stack the most common for DOS is Waterloo TCP, and details can be found here: http://www.smashco.com/wattcp.asp http://the-baby.adsl.dk/mca/dos/index.html Hope this is of help, good luck...

i can start the program "c:\net\sockets.exe", too and it starts successfull.... but if i start the tools "tracert" or even "ping".... my computer just halts. I just can turn him off by pressing the power-button.... could anyone give me a link to a website, where i can download the ping.exe, which really runs on dos6.20...? greetings&thanks pablo

http://www.smashco.com/wattcp.asp It is in the first download in the list with other tools

i downloaded this ping.exe and as i ran the tool... it reported: bootp failed.....but the tool "tcptsr.exe" already obtained an ip-adress from the dhcp-server greetings&thanks

I have been having problems with Wattcp tools regarding BOOTP so will keep you informed................
