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

Re: correction to links on DOS VM with networking tutorial
An error was made on the KB article.
Somehow you put in 121086 instead of 128800.

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