16. Using Windows and Winsock

This is the Windows Net Howto by Frisoni Gloriano <gfrisoni@hi-net.it> on 15 may 1997

This document tries to describe how to run the Windows trumpet winsock over the dosemu built-in packet driver, and then run all TCP/IP winsock-based application (netscape, eudora, mirc, free agent .....) in windows environment.

This is a very long step-by-step list of operation, but you can make little scripts to do all very quickly ;-)

In this example, I use the dosnet based packet driver. It is very powerful because you can run a "Virtual net" between your dos-windows session and the linux, and run tcp/application application without a real (hardware) net.

16.1. LIST OF REQUIRED SOFTWARE

16.2. STEP BY STEP OPERATION (LINUX SIDE)

16.3. STEP BY STEP OPERATION (DOS SIDE)

I suppose you know how to run windows in dosemu. You can read the Section 9 document if you need more information. Windows is not very stable, but works.
