How to have the old internet experience today?

Short version

Download the DOSBoxInternet.zip file:

Unzip the file to your home folder, like C:\Users\gopher\DOSBoxInternet (replace my username gopher to yours)

Put the following into your AUTOEXEC.BAT:

mount c "c:\Users\gopher\DOSBoxInternet"
set mtcpcfg=c:\mtcp\samples\sample.cfg
path c:\windows;c:\trumpet
z:\system\ne2000 0x60 10 0x300
winpkt 0x60
c:\mtcp\dhcp

Set up your NE2000 with nicbase 300 and nicirq 10, on Windows with pcap backend, on Linux with slirp.

Run win and start Netscape Navigator, it will start up the Trumpet Winsock. You have to set up your IP address, nameserver and etc. in it.
