I need help in following:

I have a LAN with 3 pc's working fine with windows 98 installed in the
3 pc's.

I have another pc working only in ms-dos. I want to put into the LAN
this fourth pc.
I installed the ethernet card inside but I don't know how to carry
on...
Is't possible to put into the LAN this PC with only ms-dos?

Thanks in advance

You can get the dos network client from the microsoft site here

ftp://ftp.microsoft.com/bussys/clients/msclient/

There are two (floppy) disks. You only need disk1 to establish a
netbeui connection. You will probably also need a dos driver for your
network card.

If you want to run file sharing services from dos you need the updated
net.exe available in this archive file

ftp://ftp.microsoft.com/softlib/mslfiles/wg1049.exe

If running file sharing services, don't let the dos machine anywhere
near the Internet since there is no fix for dos (or windows3.1) for
the single character password bug later corrected by patch in win9x
