Re: [Freedos-user] PCNTPK driver stopped working in VirtualBox 6.0

It is definitely worth a try to look at all changelogs after your 
working version of virtualbox until 6.0.

Maybe they changed something related to your networking configuration. 
Once you've found something there or not, you could go also asking on 
vbox list/forums. I assume there is more knowledge related to this issue.

Does a PCNet III work with the NE2000 drivers? I didn't know if so and 
always used qemu, thinking I miss a NE2000 in VirtualBox. Nice if it 
would work...
