[Qemu-devel] MS-DOS Network Client

[Andreas Krause]

Hi there,

did anyone successfully run Microsoft Network Client in a MS-DOS guest OS?

Here's my configuration:

- current qemu-Installer from freeoszoo
- Host OS: Win XP
- Guest OS: MS-DOS 6.22 / freedos
- Network: MS Network Client 3.0

Running qemu in PCI-mode and trying RTL8029 fails: When loading pcind.dos the driver does not find any network interface card.

When running in ISA-mode an using NE2000 the driver ms2000.dos loads but no packet can be received from or send to 10.0.2.2.

Please, if anyone could tell if it's possible to run preferrably in PCI mode and how to setup networking successfully. My aim is to mount a SMB share (net use x: \\server\share) an run an install.bat from this drive to Install my company's NT4.0-Installation.

Thanks in advance

I use the Novell 16-bit NetWare Client and it works fine with the
TCP/IP stack that GEOS setup on it. FreeDOS EMM386 seems to have some
problem with QEmu. Therefor I use the one from DR-DOS 7.03.

Try the ISA mode with the NE2000 driver set to IRQ = 9 and PORT = 300.
Maybe you could try to patch QEmu with the available PCNET or 3C509
NIC's.

I finally ran out of ideas.

All I wanted to do is:

Host OS: XP
Guest OS: DOS
boot some DOS
setup Network (Lan Manager with TCP/IP transport)
login to some Windows NT4.0 domain
mount a share
run an install.bat located on this share

I tried almost every combination of the following variables:

MS-DOS, DR-DOS, FreeDOS
NE2000/ISA, RTL8029/PCI
user-net, tap
different BIOSses
different qemu-releases (0.6.0, 0.6.1, daily builds)
different network stacks (MS Network Client, WatTCP)
DHCP, fixed IP (10.0.2.x in user mode, 192.168.0.x in tap mode)

Completely no success.

In other OSs than DOS (Knoppix, NT4.0) networking works perfectly in almost 
every combination without any effort.

In DOS, I could load both, ne2000.dos and pcind.dos, by using a current bochs 
BIOS - but not a single packet seems to be transmitted in any configuration. 
In Linux and NT4.0 networking work's perfectly with the same parameters.

Any clue? Did anyone run MS-DOS LAN Manager ind qemu successfully? Please, if 
any of the developers could try this combination and anlyaze somehow deeper 
than I am able to do? All I can do is try & error all day...

Thanks in advance

I use Linux as the host OS, and I also have never been able to get MSDOS to
use the network in qemu.

I just tried and same problem as last - hardware seems to be detected and work,
but no packets can be seen.

I use qemu's own BIOS and have had this problem since 0.5.5
