Really off topic

Is there a newsgroup for Windows 3.1? Actually it's Windows for Workgroups
3.11. If not... oh never mind...

Are you too lazy to peruse the newsgoup list yourself?

Check here:

No, I'm not. I looked through the whole list. I didn't see anything
remotely related. But there's a lot of them there. I could have missed
it.

Thanks, Kelly. I finally found it... it looked pretty small sandwiched
in there between the others.... (microsoft.public.win3x_wfw_dos)
I'm trying out Virtual Machine... putting 3.11 in it.

Most welcome and a great idea. I have had up to five OS's installed via VM
but not that one. ) Which VM product are you using?

MS Virtual PC 2004 (Build 582)
Having problems getting WFW 3.11 to network.
Networking works fine in 95 and ME (Virtual).
I have 98 and XP on my physical drive.
I also have DOS 6.22 installed seperately (virtual).
That's SIX if you count Dos....

 

[Kelly]

Ok, I can't count a challenge when I see one. I must be the third kind.
Will post back with results. )

WFW 3.11 was always a bear to network. What are you having trouble with?
I might be able to remember some things that worked for me back in the
days...

Well, it's kind of complicated, but if you'd like to join the thread in
microsoft.public.win3x_wfw_dos, I'd appreciate any help I can get!
Thanks! Subject was "WFW networking problem" (or something close)
