Once one has been found, it is not obvious how to configure it. Arachne includes TCP/IP, but it needs a packet driver to be installed first, and this is not included in the Microsoft file set. Getting the network set up correctly is a bit fiddly.To use it, though, there a few issues that need to be got over. Obviously, you need a web browser that will run in DOS, and the only sensible option seems to be Arachne. Note also that some of the descriptions of how to run a browser in FreeDOS are incomplete, or sometimes a bit confused, and they will not all work properly. I have finally managed to get an operational Web Browser running under MS-DOS within VirtualBox.Ī few people have managed this with FreeDOS, but FreeDOS actually includes a number of facilities that are not present in any version of MS-DOS, and these have to be handled differently.
