Networking FreeDOS - Installation
The majority of TCP/IP applications for DOS uses the packet driver
interface. So to be able to run them, we need to install the appropriate
drivers first.
To install a generic packet driver is the simplest way. But it isn't
always possible, as modern network cards often only come with ODI- and
NDIS drivers. Anyway: ODI- or NDIS drivers can also be used as packet
drivers through special converters ("shims"). This is just a bit more
complicated.
The following chapters describe where to obtain drivers and converters
and how to configure them:
* [Packet driver installation]
* [ODI driver installation]
* [NDIS driver installation]
