DOS ain't dead

Running the Perforce client with HX? (wsock32 fatal error) (DOSX)

Dear DOS users,

Using FreeDOS 1.0 and HX 2.17 I am unable to connect to an actual Perforce server. Running P4.EXE works fine, trying to connect to something that isn't there "works," but once there is an actual server at the designated port, dkrnl32 fails with exception C0000005 in module 'wsock32.dll'+2AE23.

Is there a way to find out what this is and fix it?

Additional notes: FreeDOS is running in VirtualBox. Network connections work; I am able to ssh back to the host from FreeDOS and both P4 and HX were downloaded directly with wget.

FreeDOS is 1.0 final fdfullcd.iso.

P4 is ftp://ftp.perforce.com/perforce/r10.1/bin.ntx86/p4.exe

HX is http://www.japheth.de/Download/HX/HXRT217.zip
