Ah yes! WfW installs its own network drivers and seems to ignore anything in
DOS. I would advise taking out the DR-DOS network drivers from the
WfW machine, you can then install Microsoft networking. It should connect
to the Win95-based machine OK (or at least, mine does!).
If you want DR-DOS networking (sans WfW that is) then you need to set up
for multiple AUTOEXEC and CONFIG.SYS files, so that you can load
DOS networking or WfW networking as needed.

You shouldn't need a second NIC. I'm running:
A 286 12MHz, DR-DOS, MS Network client for DOS
A 286 20Mhz, DR-DOS, MS Network client for DOS
A Pentium 3, 600 MHz, Windows ME
A 486, 66 Mhz, WfW
A 486, 50Mhz laptop, Windows 95
.. all 10Base2 with single NICs...
.. and believe it or not everyone coexists and talks happily
to one another. Personal Netware could be what's causing the
problem... I've never got that to work with any other network system.
Better to use the MS Network for DOS client.
Hope this helps. Get back to me if it's gibberish :)
