# Networking FreeDOS - Installation

      The majority of TCP/IP applications for DOS uses the packet driver
      interface. So to be able to run them, we need to install the appropriate
      drivers first.
      To install a generic packet driver is the simplest way. But it isn't
      always possible, as modern network cards often only come with ODI- and
      NDIS drivers. Anyway: ODI- or NDIS drivers can also be used as packet
      drivers through special converters ("shims"). This is just a bit more
      complicated.
      The following chapters describe where to obtain drivers and converters
      and how to configure them:
        * [Packet driver installation]
        * [ODI driver installation]
        * [NDIS driver installation]
