Hi all,
I'm happily using DOSemu since a long time now, and the one thing that
has always been bothering me is the complicated networking settings.
Playing with bridging and masquerading and transforming the host into a
routing machine is usually fine on a home desktop PC, but it becomes a
real pain on a laptop which, by nature, often change it's network
settings and physical locations.
This is why I wrote a tool to make DOSemu networking much easier (at
least from my POV): taprouter.
taprouter is a user-mode application that acts like a router for DOSemu,
and handles the internet access by using the host's networking, using
SLIRP as a backend (a purist might say that taprouter is more like an
ethernet-to-SLIP-bridge-with-DHCP-and-ARP-proxy rather than a 'router').
It delivers network settings to DOSemu via DHCP, so there's no
configuration needed on the DOSemu side.
The thing is available for download (along with documentation) at the
link below:

I hope it will prove useful to anyone (else than me). :)
cheers,
Mateusz Viste
