Hi,
I suppose that you have an embedded board equipped with a network card.

Here you can find a clone of MSDOS, if you don't have an old copy of it.
http://www.freedos.org

Here you can find Win31 stuffs, WFW doesn't fit in a floppy, but has a
good network support, you can "extract" what you need.
http://win31.cjb.net/

The OS is ok, now you need the drivers of your network card.

This is (maybe) the largest repository of network adapter packet drivers
(source included)
http://www.crynwr.com

Tons of drivers also in
