Does anyone know how to mount an nfs share in freedos or any other version of dos? I want to be able to mount it as a drive.

Thanks

hmm...not sure about this since the freedos version supplied with ubcd (version 5 at least) only comes loaded with novel netware drivers(?) - you can select them by typing 'menu' at the command prompt and selecting 'novel netware client'.

not sure how you'd go about setting up a share drive using novel. in the meantime you could download Brad's Universal TCP/IP Network Bootdisk and incorporate the disk as a custom image into the ubcd iso (i've currently re-written the script to work within freedos but i need to submit it both to viktor and brad for approval).

is there another network driver that I could add? I know how to add files to the freedos image I just don't know what I would need to put in there.

you need to go here and download the following:

msnet.cab (goes in /level0)
msclient.cab (.../lib)
mstcp.cab (.../lib)
msnwlink.cab (.../lib)
whatnic.cab (.../level0)

then download the desired network adapter plug-in(s) and place \lib\ndis.

should work then

On the link that you gave me it says that msnet.cab should be placed in level3. I can't seem to find the whatnic.cab file on the link. How can I find out what network plug-ins I need? Also inside of lib there is no ndis folder, the only folders that are there are aspi and odi16.

Thanks for all the help!

stick it in level0.

type "menu" to access it or type msnet at the command prompt.

I can't seem to find the whatnic.cab file on the link.

whoops. here you go (not essential but useful in determining what NIC you have.)

Also inside of lib there is no ndis folder

simply create one

How can I find out what network plug-ins I need?

whatnic.cab should be able to tell you (uses pciscan to relay your NIC information).

when I try to run whatnic it says that its starting but then fails and says bad command or filename - "pciscan". Do you know where I can find pciscan?

odd.

i uploaded pciscan for you. download and stick it in the /bin directory. it should work then.

pciscan.exe

thanks as702,
Now when I run whatnic it tells me that the drivers I need are E1000E and E1000 but when I go to the website to find them the link is dead. Do you know where else I can find these drivers?
