Hello there

I need (for a strange reason) to network my old 80286 (can only run on real mode) with my home LAN and share my DSL on it.Till now I've managed to setup file/print sharing on plain DOS but I still want to have network capability inside Windows for Workgroups 3.10. I need to mention here that Windows for Workgroups cannot run on my PC (they need 80386 and above - Enhanced mode).Is there a way to browse webpages from my 80286?
I suppose I need to install winsock in windows wfw 3.10 but there is no plug and play package available. Is there any way around with winpkt.exe driver that uses the dos tsr driver on windows?I mean has anyone tried something similar?

Any help would be really appreciated

Thanks
