To use TCP/IP applications with LANMan, I need FreeTCP... I got that and also the IFNDIS.SYS file. All I need now is the drivers for the VirtualPC network card. It's the DEC 21140A 10/100, but I can't find it anywhere! Do you know where I can get it? :S Thanks! ;)
YES!! :D But now, ANOTHER problem... :S I'm following the instructions on: http://www.jacco2.dds.nl/freetcp.html#install But I get stuck on Step #8... It tells me:
FATAL - Could not get protocol.ini information.
And then it tells me that the dc21x4.os2 driver wasn't loaded... I tried using both the protocol.ini in the NIC driver which you gave me and the protocol.ini in the FreeTCP pack... None works, both tell me the same thing!
I did not give you anything, I pointed you to sites I had previously found when I had to network OS/2 on a Standalone PC. I gave up with Lanmanger and actually purchased a used Warp Connect package, a litle better, then upgraded to Warp4 better still. Eventually client went to Serenity System's eComstation as IBm have removed support.
You will insist on using EMULATION which has certain foibles, I am out of here.
I was just expressing an opinion, I am not an advocate of EMULATION even though do work in the IT Sector. I still support MSDOS and until my only OS/2 client went to eComstation tried to offer him support. I have many clients dual booting MSDOS/W9x and XP, as that is what I feel offers the best solution.
You seem to trying to learn about various O/Ses and from my own experience have learnt that using an O/S applicable to the vintage of PC I learn more. So OK I may have bought/sold various old junk PC's but I am no good at programming or re-inventing a wheel.
Ooohh... ok! I'm planning on getting a new job on buying PC's at thrift stores, fixing them and adding parts to them, and then selling them on eBay! :P Thanks! :)
Yes!! X86 is very opinionated and has been booted of this forum several times. If you ever need to contact him just do not mention LBA/FAT32 and MS-DOS in the same sentence.................
The person who wrote the last website I pointed you to, you will find lots of his posts in the DOS forum going back some time ago: http://83.67.55.228/
