Hi Carl,
As far as I know SAMBA has begun to implement them, although there was some dispute as to reliability last time it was discussed. I agree about the porting too, I'm not even aware of a true FreeDOS network client, let alone one with these facilities? I currently have to use Microsoft's network client and drivers to be able to connect to corporate networks from FreeDOS at all.
Last I checked M$ was not hosting them.
Not sure what you mean here?
Where did you find the DOS network drivers?
About a year ago I switch our production build and test environment to FreeDOS; it relied on creating a boot environment which then connects to the Windows SMB network over TCP/IP and pulls a hardware independent image from the network to build the new workstation or server. The "network" part of it uses MSCLIENT 3.0 and I should have made it clear when I said "Microsoft drivers" I was meaning the IFS driver as opposed to the actual NIC driver! The NIC driver is of course supplied by the vendor of the NIC e.g. 3Com, Intel, Broadcom.
This was perfect until head office upgraded to Windows Server 2003 and now it doesn't work because FreeDOS can't use Kerberos, or sign the SMB packets:(
Looks like I'll need to use WinPE:( -- Gerry Hickman (London UK) ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
