Hi I'm still doubtful about using fdnet in DOS machine - I'm not talking about virtual box, which I don't use. I have three laptops with freedos with pci ethernet cards (realtek, Via and Broadcom) and with Nicscan I found the drivers and they work very well. It would be nice, if (as in Slacko / Puppy / linux) a program could immediately identify your ethernet card and install it on your dos-pc based on a list of appropriate pci / isa drivers already present in freedos-base (there is a copyright issue?). Ithink this would make freedos access friendlier for new users. regards Andrea
