Greetings all!

I'm setting up a system for a friend, and we are having a really tough time
getting one machine on the network.  The server is running 2.2.7-RELEASE and is
running fine.  From Windows and FreeBSD machines, all the networking goes fine.

But there is one DOS machine (the user hates Windows, but uses it for DOS
games), that refuses to get with the network.  It is using the Wollongong
Pathway TCP/IP stack with an NE2000 card to try to get onto the network.  It can
ping itself fine, and the FreeBSD machine can ping itself, but neither can ping
each other.  But what is odd is that the DOS machine can get one packet through
the first time it's booted.  I know this because running a netstat -rn shows
the IP of the DOS machine, and, here's the odd thing, the hardware address of
the ethernet card.  I've not seen that before...

So the question I'm asking is:  Has anyone ever worked with Wollongong's
Pathway to put a DOS machine on the network?  Any pointers or experience in
this area?
