[Fixed] correction to links on DOS VM with networking tutorial (#18868)

Post by ssybesma »


ModEdit; related ticket: #18868: corrections for tutorial: Set up a DOS VM with networking (and shared folders).
This regards the Prerequisites section of...

https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Sharing_files_with_DOS

Since all but one of the links are broken due to the passage of time, I decided to hunt down as authentic replacements for them as I can so you can update the tutorial.

MS Client for networks (two self-extracting files DSK3-1.EXE, DSK3-2.EXE) <-- Located at corresponding location in MS FTP archive: DSK3-1.EXE ...AND... DSK3-2.EXE
AMD NDIS2 (not NDIS3!) NIC drivers for Windows 3.1 <-- this link is the only still-valid one of the bunch
wg1049.exe (optional) <-- Located at corresponding location in MS FTP archive: WG1049.EXE
netshar.exe (optional) <-- Original link was never correct (duplicate of link for WG1049.EXE). KB info: https://jeffpar.github.io/kbarchive/kb/121/Q121086/ Only instance found in MS FTP archive, so assumed to be correct: NETSHAR.EXE
Microsoft KB 128800 - on how to add extra NDIS2 drivers to the client setup (optional) <-- This no-longer-existing MS KB is archived here (with collection of many other old MS KBs): https://jeffpar.github.io/kbarchive/kb/128/Q128800/

Thanks a lot for the suggestions. I'll incorporate them and update the DOS webpage
with it.

An error was made on the KB article.
Somehow you put in 121086 instead of 128800.

There are two KB articles in there, please check the https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Sharing_files_with_DOS article again. I believe that it's properly [Fixed] now, hence the marking of the thread as such.
