Networking Under MS-DOS

[thera34]

1. ChatGPT DOS client - works perfect on both ao486 and PC XT, it also requires an external proxy (for convenience I used a RaspberryPI) to process SSL
   Where to get it and instructions (also for setting up a proxy): https://github.com/yeokm1/doschgpt
   Discord discussion/pics/other links: https://discord.com/channels/6479093974 ... 0785183864
   Note - working on getting that HTTP-to-HTTPS proxy to work on DE10-Nano's ARM

The http-to-https proxy from same author of DOS ChatGPT (https://github.com/yeokm1/http-to-https ... -linux-arm) can be ran on the ARM side of MiSTer, so no more use of an external machine. Copy it in a folder of preference (I used /meadia/fat/Scripts/), edit doschgpt.ini to point to MiSTer's ARM IP address (in my case is 192.168.100.25 while the core's PPP is ofc .254) and that's it:

SSH and SFTP work as well under MS-DOS using the latest fork of SSh2DOS client from here: https://github.com/AnttiTakala/SSH2DOS/releases
Copy it to your DOS VHD, edit the included wattcp.cfg file to reflect your core's PPP IP/netmask/DNS/gateway.

Hi!

I've followed all the instructions, but pinging google.com (or other servers) I get: "error resolving server name".

Sequence:

Code: Select all

C:\>epppdd com1 115200 local
sifaddr pppO: local 192.168.1.254, remote 192.168.1.90, netmask 255.255.255.0.
Installed packet driver handler at vector 0x60.

Code: Select all

Ok, fixed, in case is needed by someone I leave here the solution: in mtcp.cfg the IPADDR had to be set to a value of 192.168.1.254.

Yes, because by default the core's IP address assigned via PPP would be .254, first three octets being your LAN specific (like 192.168.1.0/24 in most cases).
Here is the up-to-date how-to on PPP (and not only) connections on different cores/OSes: https://mister-devel.github.io/MkDocs_M ... connection

Thanks a lot!
