The guest part: You need drivers. VBox can emulate old AMD PC-net-II network card. But I found an article which explains a bit about PCnet-III card: https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Sharing_files_with_DOS The host part: (configure in VirtualBox) If your DOS client and NT server are on the same physical host, you can try bridged mode, if not you should try the new UDP Tunnel mode to connect between them. -- -Alexey Eromenko "Technologov" ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ All of the data generated in your IT infrastructure is seriously valuable. Why? It contains a definitive record of application performance, security threats, fraudulent activity, and more. Splunk takes this data and makes sense of it. IT sense. And common sense. http://p.sf.net/sfu/splunk-d2dcopy2 _______________________________________________ VBox-users-community mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/vbox-users-community
