- How are you loading the driver? You _cannot_ use the DOS_DEVICE setting to do
- so, as that's only for drivers you'd load via CONFIG.SYS on a DOS machine.
- What I did for PC/TCP for DOS was to build a batch file that loaded the packet
- driver, loaded the ETHDRV kernel (not necessary for NCSA), and then started
- the TELNET client. That method should work for you, too.
