Network support for FreeDOS

Hi guys,

Does anyone of you know if it's possible to connect to a windows logical drive (mapping) through FreeDOS?
Let's say I have an old PC with a FreeDOS on it and I want to connect to my computer which runs Windows XP Pro.
In MSDOS there is a program net.exe that you can use (net use) to connect to shared drives.
Is there anything like that for FreeDOS?

Thanks,
Tony

Hi,

I tried Microsoft networks for dos.
It is available somewhere at Microsoft's.
I could not properly configure it, so I decided to use linux with a dos emulator.
It is not yet done, it rather sucks as far as Debian is concerned

luck,
pepe

Hi pepe,

Microsoft software is not free. I am already using a FreeDOS and I need to be able to use networking by using FreeDOS.
I don't want to buy a legal version of MS-DOS as it's almost impossible to find... and I can't use a non-legal copy here...

Hello, Tony
The package can be downloaded for free. It may work with freedos, who knows...?
or try Linux, there are Dos emulators for it. This is absolutely free.

2Tony:
Try to use this ftp://ftp.jinr.ru/pub/pc/net_com/p2p_comm/fastwire.arj tool.
As I know, it is freeware. And it is also more then ten years old

Anyway... Linux is a better choise.

Thanks for the info, but I still need to be able to do that from FreeDOS.
Any help is appreciated.
