This is strange ... when we changed to an NT (SMB) Lan, we tried the TCP/IP stuff with NWCLIENT32, but it just didn't work with the new Lan! :-( After that, there was no option but to install the M$ Client software (on DR-DOS 7.02+), instead (ie. no Novell or PNW stuff). This M$ Client stuff is a derivative of Lan Manager, AFAIK, and it works fairly well (there are a few quirks and it is a bit of a memory hog). To install it, run the SETUP program, not NET ... this (ie. SETUP) did not hang when we used it - perhaps Rich(ard?) doesn't have enough free conventional memory to run it? Perhaps he has a TSR conflict or an interrupt conflict? (Just guesswork ...).
