How to access a windows network folder via TCP/IP from DOS?

Question

DOS

The system image is uploaded to the computer via Ghost.
Ghost is launched from DOS
DOS is loaded over the network via PXE
Now the image is downloaded in advance to the second partition of the computer, drive D:
I want to access images in network folders I
can’t find documentation that would describe what files and parameters are needed in the DOS image
found
I don’t understand how to add The Microsoft LAN Manager Client for DOS to the image now
Everywhere it says run setup.exe, but I have vin64 for a long time, it doesn’t start
Downloading VMWare and deploying a farm for the sake of this alone is not very desirable, and it’s interesting to figure it out
Examples of documentation:

I think there are ready-made images of boot floppy disks with a network on the Web, but I did not find something.
Advise how to solve the problem without booting into DOS through an emulator or a stand-alone special computer.

Answer 1

Search Google for "MSDOS TCP/IP boot disk".
Here we find:
- based on MSDOS + LAN Client: www.netbootdisk.com/about.htm
- based on Novell DOS: www.portlock.com/products/virtual/boot

Answer 2

I don't see a problem in installing DOS on a virtual machine - it's ten minutes of work - reading the documentation on manual installation of the LAN Manager Client will take longer.
And so - here are a couple more links: www.faughnan.com/netdos.html
