>> Hi, I wanted to ask a question about dos ethernet driver. I think it's one of the most satisfying thing using dos to go online. You know the problem: is to find ad load the driver you need, especially for laptops. Ad it's very hard. For example I still use an old Acer aspire 1300 ad I load the Via fetpkt ethernet driver ( thanks to George Potthast driver collection) and it work fine; so another Acer with Broadcom B44 odi. But maybe it is luck! Now I am trying to load a diver for a toshiba satellite with Marvell Yukon eth.card: I found the driver (yukodi driver) and it would seem to work, and system says it loaded odi packet driver and so on, but neither Arachne no Link go up on internet. I have a wattcp.cfg (My_ip = dhcp), as usual, but they fail. ( The laptop is good and goes up on internet with Slacko/puppy - I've partitioned HD). Any ideas? Or you think it's now too tiring and useless to go online with dos? (I use pure freedos 1.2 and 1.3.)

I've too a Toshiba laptop with a realTek card and I'll probe an ethernet driver that looks good with LSM and so on. I'll let you kow.
