Hello,
I obtained the network driver that supports DOS in Virtual PC.. I think that
is the only one. I can't remember its name. The one with LMHOSTS,
protocol.ini and system.ini

Everything is fine so far
But when I type ipconfig, it shows my cable modem for the DNS server, Of
course my Cable modem won't have any entries to resolve. So I need to change
the DNS server address to somewhere else. Where should I make this change?
Thanks
Jack

I got curious and looked through my old MSDN disks and found one
labelled "16 bit operating systems", which contained MSDOS disk images
(both 1.2 and 1.44 Mb floppy images). However after concering the IMG
file format to VFD using WinImage and booting a new guest from the VFD
it turned out that it won't install because it is an "upgrade" and it
could not find any operating ystem installed to upgrade...

Bottom line though:
WinImage can create a VFD image file, which will catually boot in
VPC2007. You only need to supply a valid source, which in this case is
not so easy given the lack of a 3.5" drive...

"Microsoft Network Client for MS-DOS" sound familiar?
Run SETUP form the \NET directory, to change your settings.
