Subject:	OpenDOS 7.02b1 - can't get PNW network up

I am trying to bring up a tiny network using OpenDOS & Personal Netware.

There are 2 PC's, both running OpenDOS 7.02 beta_1, and both have 3C503 NIC's connected with thin coax.  The 
connection passes the echo test run by the 3Com 3C503.EXE utility (as well as the individual level 1 & 2 
diagnostics).

My problem is that neither PC appears to see the other one when the network starts at boot time.  The client 
PC issues:
	Workgroup FMSLIBRARY not found
	Do you wish to search? Y
	Reading all known networks from router . . .
	0 networks found
	Workgroup FMSLIBRARY not found
The server PC comes up & I can logon to the workgroup, but "NET DIAGS" and "PNWDIAGS" show only that PC's 
network card.  I used SETUP to install PNW on both PC's; one as a server with workgroup FMSLIBRARY, and the 
other as a client. I have tried various combinations of interface card config's: ethernet 802.2, 802.3 & 
ethernet-II.

What am I missing?  Please help me stave off the software vendor's recommendation of Win95/WinNT-server for 
this tiny (eventually 4-5 PC's) dos application.
