Sure...

The MS-DOS box has a 16bit NIC. Now you have to setup a Network Client for 
MS-DOS like Microsoft LAN Manager or Microsoft Client v3.11. on the MS-DOS 
box.

Once the Network client and NIC+drivers are set I talk to my router, all my 
box's are behind a Linksys router.

My server and notebook are on my LAN (local area network) too. So once you 
setup shared files and directories on /all/ box's you can (push {at} pull) files 
and directories across the LAN.

Ah... no router hu.

Nope, but my MS-DOS has access to the internet, via my router. So any MS-DOS 
browser should work. My MS-DOS FTP does, via the router. :)
