Lots of energy was spent over the years including a flurry of activity after official support ended in 2006. Forty seven pages, although many topics are just help requests. Quick reviewed the Windows 9x Members Project threads on this forum. Good comparisons between different Windows releases, including DOS, Windows 3.1 up to the NTs. The link below is Chapter 9, the entire chapter collection is enlightening. Stumbled on an informative tutorial titled 'Understanding the Boot Process for MS-DOS and Windows 9x'. In reality not much of a limitation as there are many ways to load the desired environment, usually custom after boot *.BAT files for applications with special needs. Recently discovered using a CONFIG.SYS for different boot environments has a limit of nine entries. Personal preferences only: enjoy the challenges of limited native Windows 98 browsing, do not want to run two systems concurrently just to browse, do not use Chrome/Chromium, prefer multiboot for newer browsers. Your method provides insight into how good Windows 98 could still be if development wasn't dropped. Running through a low consumptive device like a Raspberry Pi is pretty efficient.

My understanding is the web pages are actually usable/clickable, not just rendered images, cool. Using another local system as a gateway was brought up here before, glad it's working for you. Thank-you for the information and screenshots this may help others looking for solutions. Probably just something i'm doing wrong, no further assistance requested, need to let it go and move on.

Interestingly, both mTCP's PKTTOOL.EXE and Arachne were able to detect a loaded packet driver in the Windows environment though no network connection could be established. I'm aware different WINPKT.COM releases have different configuration options, nothing worked. It appears it should be as easy as something like below, oh well. Probably rebooted more than two dozen times and tried every imaginable boot scenario, using config files and manually loading before Windows starts. Unfortunately nothing worked and i've given up.

This ethernet adapter's packet driver even comes with a Windows switch (-w) 'to let the packet drivers run under Windows'. Different WINPKT.COM files were trialed, downloaded from multiple sources including the link and Winsock.

Having said that lots of time was spent attempting to get the packet driver running in Windows without success. Personal preference is to boot DOS for DOS browsers and use RetroZilla and K-Meleon in Windows.

It's amazing how much software there is out there. Thank-you for the information and This should help anyone wanting to use a packet driver for DOS applications within Windows.
