No..No..no..No.
The first line 'Link driver LSL' is Wrong!  It should read 'Link Driver 
Ne2000'

 SS> NE2000.COM it says the following..
you can either omit that line from the net.cfg or Change the interrupt to
a free interrupt on your system, try maybe 11 or 10!

The main reason that it failed was the NET.CFG file was wrong and maybe you 
have some other device using int 5.

You know plenty about networks??? 
Anyway...Here's how it should look!
==START STARTNET.BAT==
CD \NETWORK
LSL.COM
NE2000.COM
IPXODI.COM
NETX.EXE (or VLM.EXE)
==END STARTNET.BAT==
==START NET.CFG==
Link Driver NE2000
    Frame Ethernet_802.3
    Frame Ethernet_II
    Frame Ethernet_802.2
         INT {Whatever}
         PORT {Usually 300 or there abouts}
==END NET.CFG==
