What kind of system is this?  Which network card?

The initial load of memdisk is done by the card's full PXE stack (DHCP
using UDP using raw send/receive, all in the card's BIOS).  The
undis3c "universal" driver, which is used once DOS gets started,
implements an NDIS driver using only the lowest levels (send/receive
packet) of the card's PXE stack.

In short, what you are seeing is some incompatibility between
undis3c.dos and your network card.  The Intel ndis.dos universal
driver might work, but the more I read about these, the less sure I am
whether the 3com or the Intel universal driver is preferable in
general.

(This is quite possibly a bug in your card's PXE stack, which is why I
am wondering about the system and card.)
