View autoexec.bat and config.sys. Installing firewood on a network card is a very exciting and entertaining process, during which you usually remember all the swear words that you knew from childhood ... There is very little
memory in DOS . Therefore, in order for the network card to work and some other programs to run, they were perverted as best they could. What is "upper" memory - you know? HIMEM.SYS - there is such a thing, the "upper" memory driver. Without him - as without hands. And even with it - to run TCP / IP under DOS (and there are simply no other options, well, not counting IPX, of course, where the dance is also incredible) - it's just hellish patience is needed to load the components correctly (and there are more than one of them, they about five) so that they gobble up as little memory as possible, so that at least Volkov Commander will work later :)
Like this, for example
