Help (kind of an emergency)

'Bout fucking time you tried it.

Now, make yourself a dos boot disk (6.22) and install the network client on it. Yes, it all fits. You might need to use a little utility to bump the floppy up to 1.6M, but you can cram it all in.

I had a great one years back with the 10 most popular NIC drivers and a menu to select them. I'll root around and see if I can't locate it.

The dos network client wouldn't install. I kept running out of space

'dos boot' was a good movie....but I don't see how it will help here....

 

[tommyj27]

me neither

Fluffy, install it to a hard drive, then copy the necessary bits. Hint, the readme files aren't necessary.

It sounds like a router problem or something.

Nah, I don't think so...

Took 3 weeks to fix what could have been fixed by a proper complete swap of hardware in the course of the first day of diagnostics... I was such a n00b.

Now the first thing I think when a bad part is replaced and still doesn't work is, "them cocksuckers sent me a half-assed refurb part..."

No amount of education can prepare one for moments like these.

Experience is the best teacher ... even if all she ever says is "I told you so"
