1) driver for network card should be installed

2) some DOS networking files need to be copied somewhere (in the DOS directory?)

3) a network protocal needs to be selected (TCPIP)

4) an IP address needs to be assinged (can it be DCHP?)

Anything else? Has anyone here gotting it to work? Can you help me?

I don't believe dos can work with TCPIP and you would instead need to set it up with IPX.  I could be wrong, but it has been years since I messed with a MS-DOS system.

Are you just wanting to transfer files from your other computers to your mame cab?  If all else fails you can get a Null-Modem cable and transfer the data that way.

Dos networking with tcp/ip is support, but I think it only allows for simple file sharing.
(I.e. no domain logins with active directory and the like)

I know we did it a few years ago successfully Using Netbeui I think...I'd have to do some digging to find that out for sure though.  But it did have the functionality to connect from a dos system to a Windows 95/98 shared folder(s). <Over token ring no less>  ::)
