Solve : Is Dos in Windows 98se a full version???? |
|
Answer» Is Dos in Windows 98se a full version or is it a stripped down version? It says that you cant ping in Dos mode, but I restarted in Dos.exactly... actually, it probably says "this program cannot be run in DOS mode." ping.exe as INCLUDED with windows 98SE NETWORKING components is a Win32 executable. as such, networking components will only work in windows. However, if you can manage to download the networking components as included with windows for workgroups, you might be able to load the drivers in config.sys and autoexec.bat. be warned that networking in windows (internet, etc) will be seriously impaired. Also- why do you want to do all this in DOS mode?I am trying to run a proprietary program that sets up in windows with a GUI and when its ready to print it automatically starts Dos and thats where you set up it to merge with variable data. (I need it to see a DRIVE on our network in Dos to do the merge) Originally it was designed for Windows 3.11 & Dos 6.22. This is a huge learning curve for me...Do I need to go back to Windows 3.11 & Dos 6.22 or can Windows 98se be networked in Dos? And when you say Dos mode is that when you restart in Dos or run Dos from the command in Windows or is that the same? it needs to see a drive on your network? can you not map the drive letter beforehand? try changing the programs properties to run under windows; the networking commands (ping, net, etc) are available in a command window.In 98se oh yeah its the full version Why cant you ping an IP address?Quote from: Carguy960 on December 26, 2008, 10:42:02 PM Why cant you ping an IP address? Please re-read over from the top...the answer is there. |
