Good advice.  It took me a while to figure this out.

Very good point also.  I just recently discovered the same
thing.  Had to adjust my Autoexec.bat.  Anyone with a LAN
that's working fine in an OS/2 window (as far as name
resolution is concerned especially) but is having trouble
with name resolution in a DOS session probably has this
problem.  I did.
Also, I've noticed that if you install your internet stuff
(ADAPTER 0 - NONE) first your %etc% variable is set to
\tcpip\etc.  If you install your real LAN adapter first
your %etc% variable is set to \mptn\etc.  Doesn't really
matter as long as (as you say) the DOS and the OS/2
sessions match.
