Is there any free utility DOS programs I can use to copy files from another computer using the LAN card? I want to be able to copy a file without the need to have Windows Installed...I usually used FX for laplink cable connection...but that is done through the serial or parallel port...

You could create a network boot disk, that loads network card drivers (suitable for your NIC) and drops you to a DOS prompt. Take a look at http://www.bootdisk.com, and also I think Windows NT 4 Server, has it.. Check out Network Boot disk or words to that affect in the Administrative Tools program group.

Thanks
