Hello list,

I'm using dosemu binary version 1.0.2
I've installed msdos622 inside of the dosemu

I have 2 NIC cards installed one for IP (netgear) only the other strictly
for IPX (3coms 3c905B card)

I get Dos 6.22 to run without problem

I CD to nwclient
I run lsl ..no problem

I run 3c90x it states ...
3com 3C90X Fast EtherLink XL/Family Adapter Drive w/ DME v3.10 (980429)
(c) Copyright 1998 3Com Corp. All rights reserverd.

Slot 2, IRQ 5, Port E400
Max Frame 1514 bytes, Line Speed 10 Mbps
Board 1, FRAME ETHERNET_802.3, LSB Mode

Network adapter not found or not responding.

3c90x-DOS-6: The Adapter did not initialize. 3c90x didn't load.

I can run vlm without errors :)

the net.cfg file has

Link Support
Max Stacks 2
max boards 2
Buffers 4 1514
mempool 2048
Link Driver 3c90X
BUS 0
SLOT 2 <---? how to find which slot to use?
INT #1 5
PORT #1 e400
Frame Ethernet_802.3
Protocol IPX 0 Ethernet_802.3
NetWare DOS Requester
FIRST NETWORK DRIVE = F
SHOW DOTS=ON
FILE HANDLES=80
PB BUFFERS=0
SET STATION TIME = ON
PREFERRED SERVER = LEARNSERV
\x1a

In dosemu.conf the only line that I have edited related to ipx was
ipx_support=(on)

I've also tried
$_pci = (on)
$_irqpassing = "5"
$_ports = "range 0xe400,0xe47f"
$_ipxsupport = (off)
$_novell_hack = (off)
$_vnet = (off)

which the boot.log outputs

from /proc/pci output

Bus 0, device 18, function0:
Ethernet controller: 3Com Corporation 3c905B 100 BaseTX {cyclone} (rev 480).
