How do you load IPX/SPX? Im not familiar with DR/Novell DOS 7 (I have
used versions 5 and 6 quite a lot though).  Is there an inbuilt option
to load IPX or are you using LSL, IPXODI, NE2000 (or similar)?
Are you getting any error messages?  Do you have your card configured
correctly?  Does the NET.CFG file contain the same card settings?
