WARNING: Long post ahead!
To satisfy some nostalgia, I'm trying to set up a fully functional system with MS-DOS 6.22, the supplemental files for MS-DOS, and finally, WfWG 3.11, with all emulated hardware properly configured.
MS-DOS 6.22 and its supplemental files were installed with no problems.
While WfWG 3.11 will install, it will only use the standard VGA driver (640x480x16 colors), and it will not acknowledge the presence of a network card. I haven't tested its support of the emulated sound card, but I doubt that it's working properly either.
According to the VirtualPC 2007 help file, the following emulated hardware is present:
Video: S3 Trio 32/64 PCI w/ 8 MB VRAM
I checked another thread on this message board and found S3's driver archive page, but was unable to find a compatible driver. The ones I tried either caused a GPF in Windows as soon as the Program Manager appeared or failed after the loading screen with a text mode error.
Network: DEC 21140A 10/100 (May appear to some OSes as "Intel 21140". Both are identical.)
I haven't managed to find a driver for this either. Also, from what I saw, WfWG 3.11 doesn't include native TCP/IP support. I seem to recall somewhere that MS did release an update that added native TCP/IP support and other fixes, but I have no idea where to find them. Failing that, how can I establish connectivity inside WfWG 3.11 so that I can use a web browser?
Sound: Creative Labs Sound Blaster 16 ISA PNP
Once I add "SET BLASTER=A220 I5 D1 H5 P330 T6" to the AUTOEXEC.BAT file, what else do I need to do so that WfWG 3.11 has access to the sound card?
Thanks!

Scratch my original post, I have 80% of it worked out so far after spending *several* hours on Google.. More q's to come though!
