I have a Motorola Surf Board 5100 Cable modem plugged into my computer through USB. The Computer is set to dual boot between Windows 2000 and MS-DOS 6.22 (With Windows 3.1) Is there any hope for me to get online with Windows 3.1? Also, I tried installing IE 5.0, and it told me that 4 megs of memory wasn't enough. (I have 192, of which MS-DOS 6.22 notices 64mb) How do I rectify that, assuming I can get it online with the above circumstances. If not with USB, is it possible to get Win3.1 online if I buy an ethernet card and plug the modem into it? Any help would be much appreciated. And if you're wondering, it's a nostalgia thing.

For 16-bit IE 5.0, please specify the option "/f:16" for IE5 SETUP to get rid of that error message. To see your whole 192MB memory under DOS, please try SETXMSTO or upgrade your DOS to MS-DOS 7.10, available from: http://newdos.yginfo.net/msdos71/index.htm

If you want to have DOS support for USB see: http://www.spacetools.com/tools4/space/445.htm As to Ethernet connection, I use DOS Browsers with just a packet Driver installed for the NIC. Not used W3.x but should work.....................if the NIC is recognised.

You have installed the 16bit version of IE?? http://classic.tucows.com/softweb_default.html

If you need Internet in Windows 3.11, get an Ethernet Cable modem, the install youe Network Card Drivers in WFWG 3.1x. Download the TCP/IP 32-bit off tuvows, then install it in WFWG 3.1x under the network applet in the contral panel. Then enable DHCP and let it search for an IP address. Then get a 16-bit IE and your all set. PS..You can do this under regular Windows 3.1x, you need Windows For Workgroups. Email me If you need a copy at Microsoftroaster@netscape.net
