Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

There is no way to establish any form of communication between host operating system running dosbox-x (Windows 7 for example) and operating system running inside dosbox-x (Windows 98), when running Windows 98 inside dosbox-x (and configuring network card accordingly) you can only navigate Internet and cannot pass data back and forth between Windows 7 running dosbox-x and Windows 98 running inside dosbox-x in any way

What you want

A mechanism to pass data between host operating system (Windows 7 for example) and operating system running inside dosbox-x, like the virtual box guest additions and installs a share inside the operating system running inside virtualbox

For DOS - there is VBSF utilizing the VirtualBox interface, but I don't think it's implemented in DOSbox yet.

It is possible to establish a communication between Windows 7 host and Windows 98 dosbox-x guest? All the solutions depicted (samba, ftp servers, Microsoft client, netbeui, shared folders,,..) only work if pinging inside Windows 98 (running under dosbox-x) to the host running dosbox-x (windows 7 in my case) gives a reply (does not give a reply), pinging inside Windows 98 to the gateway (192.168.1.1) gives a reply, but pinging to the Windows 7 host (192.168.1.150) does not give a reply. Windows 98 has gotten the ip 192.168.1.151 through DHCP) I have use the Microsoft compiled latest version of dosbox-x

I have used the pcap method, works in order to access internet inside Windows 98 under dosbox-x

Taking another different route, editing dosbox-x.conf and adding at the end of the file the lines:

IMGMOUNT C Win98SE.img MOUNT E c:\utils BOOT C:

If I copy files from inside Windows 98 to the E: drive letter created by MOUNT E c:\utils, when I exit Windows 98 such files copied does not appear in c:\utils, what I´m doing wrong?
