China DOS Union

I want to get online in DOS without starting Windows, on a LAN with automatic IP assignment. Can anyone tell me exactly how to do it?

First load the 8139 network card's Packet driver, then run the browser. The 8139 network card's Packet driver can be downloaded from the RealTek website.

Moderator, I finally managed to find the 8139's rtspkt.com, but when I run lynx, it says "Configuration file /dev/env/DJDIR/lib/lynx.cfg is not available." But at that point lynx.cfg is already in the root directory. I also downloaded this file from the website, and it still doesn't work Could you give me a hint what the reason is?

By the way, one more question: how do you use rtspkt.com? *blush*。。

Sorry, we really know too little about DOS.

Try this:
RTSPKT 0x60

Then first set the LYNX_CFG environment variable so that it points to the LYNX.CFG file.

Since I don't know DOS very well, I'll have to trouble the moderator a lot more :）
How do I set the LYNX_CFG environment variable so that it points to the LYNX.CFG file? In which file should I make the change?

For example, if you put lynx.cfg under C:\lynx\, run lynx -cfg=c:\lynx\lynx.cfg

This is bad, following what Dark-Destroy said, it instead shows:
No nameserver defined!
No nameserver defined!
"sin_mask"is 0.0.0.0 !
Cannot set local ip-address
What should I do at this point?
Thanks a lot :）

Did you modify wattcp.cfg?

To tell the truth, I also noticed it has something to do with this file, but after staring at it for a long time, I'm still totally confused. This file seems to configure DNS, the local IP, and other network options, but I really can't understand it

I sincerely hope the moderator can explain it with an example. For instance, post a configured wattcp.cfg and add a brief explanation :）
Sorry to trouble the moderator

I tried changing the ip＝ value to dhcp, but I may not have grasped the key point. It still doesn't work. So I hope the moderator can post a modified file; that would be more intuitive.

Is it this one:

#
# Waterloo TCP/IP sample configuration file.
#
# Use this file as a template to make your own.
# This file should be located in "current directory" or in a directory
# pointed to by the environment variable "WATTCP.CFG".
#
# E.g. Put a copy of this file in "c:\net\watt\bin" and insert this
# line in your AUTOEXEC.BAT:
# set wattcp.cfg=c:\net\watt\bin
#
# Note 1: No trailing `\' at end of line, and no spaces around the `='.
#
# Note 2: The order of keywords/value pairs are significant.
# For instance, if you have "my_dns = 134.121.10.8" in your
# "c:\net\watt\bin\hosts" file, then "hosts = c:\net\watt\bin\hosts"
# MUST be listed before the line specifying your nameserver;
# "nameserver = my_dns". The same rule applies to "gateway" and "cookie"
#
# Note 3: the value (right of `=' is the default if you comment the
# line out. Comments starts with `#' or `;'. To use `#' or `;' inside
# string values, the string MUST be put in quotes.
# E.g. these keywords have different values:
# keyword1 = "hello world #;"
# keyword2 = "hello world "#;
#
# Note 4: The right-side value may contain an environment variable that
# will be expanded when read. The effect is like in makefiles.
# E.g. if environment variable "ETC" is "c:\net\watt\bin",
# "$(ETC)\hosts" becomes "c:\net\watt\bin\hosts" after
# expansion. See "README.TOO" for details.
#
# Note 5: Remember that all this text takes time to parse (especially on
# a 386 or older CPU). Cut down the contents of your "WATTCP.CFG" (not
# this file, a copy) to a minimum to improve speed.
#
#
# Text printed to screen (stdout).
#
# print = "Waterloo TCP/IP setup" ; optional key/value

#
# If using a fixed IP-address, insert the dotted decimal address below.
# If your LAN has a DHCP server, use "my_ip = dhcp".
# Likewise, if you want to get your IP-address via BOOTP or RARP servers.
#
# my_ip = 192.168.1.2 ; really is 0.0.0.0, mandatory
my_ip=dhcp

#
# The name of this host excluding the domain-name.
# Note: may be overridden by DHCP/BOOTP server.
# Max 50 characters.
#
# hostname = "random-pc" ; optional

#
# A better method would be to define it via the environment.
# If djgpp is installed and you have the djgpp `uname' program, then
# use $(COMPUTERNAME) if running under Windows for consistent names
# here.
#
#hostname = $(COMPUTERNAME)

#
# The netmask specifying the sub-net your are on.
# Note: may be overridden by DHCP/BOOTP server.
#
netmask = 255.255.255.0 ; mandatory if not using DHCP

#
# IP-address (or name) of DNS host(s). The DNS host's job is to
# translate hostnames to IP-addresses if the hostname isn't listed
# in "$(ETC)\hosts".
#
# Notes: DHCP/BOOTP servers may add additional nameservers to the one(s)
# you specify here.
# There are no default server. There can be a total of 10
# nameservers. All nameserver are queried in sequence until an
# IP-address is returned. Enter the "fastest" (closest) nameserver
# first for best result.
#
# nameserver = 0.0.0.0 ; primary DNS, mandatory if not using DHCP
# nameserver = 0.0.0.0 ; secondary DNS, optional

#
# The IP-address (or name) of your gateway.
# If you are running DOS-PPP with EtherNet emulation this should be
# replaced with $(REMIP). For SLIP or normal PPP, gateway is not used.
#
# The syntax is "ip-addr ]"
#
# Notes: Will most likely be overridden by DHCP/BOOTP server.
# The ARP-routing table is limited to 12 gateways.
#
# gateway = 0.0.0.0 ; mandatory if not using BOOTP/DHCP

My lynx is in the aaa directory on drive C. If I run the following command:
lynx -cfg=c:\aaa\lynx.cfg www.163.com
it shows:
Looking up www.163.com first
Looking up www.163.com.com, guessing...
Looking up www.163.com.edu, guessing...
Looking up www.163.com.net, guessing...
Looking up www.163.com.org, guessing...
Can't Access `file://localhost/c:/aaa/www.163
Alert!: Unable to access document.

lynx: Can't access startfile
What seems to be the problem here?
