[Freedos-user] freedos msclient
Hi I am trying to get freedos to join a network to be able to access samba shares. I have tried to install msclient but I get the following error on boot: Error 3658: The IFSHLP.SYS driver is not installed. I have a 3com 3c905c-tx nic. It picks up the driver fine during install. I have read something about UMB causing problems but haven't seen any solutions. Anyone know how to get past this error? Thanks - Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
