I get the same error on both games "ecb.ComletionCode = 0xfd" I'm using an intel Pro100 NIC. Got the DOS network stack installed and NDIS drivers. I've tried with IPX and TCP/IP setup just so I can tet TCP/IP and it does work. Ping 8.8.8.8 get's a reply. I've also tried it with just the IPX protocol setup, still doesn't work.
I think the error relates to the network stack or the driver.
Any ideas?
timeout i believe, may have something to do with a bad address looking at the snippet
It appears instantly BTW, I suppose there are no other machines available, but surely it should sit there and wait for the other machines?
Are your computers connected directly? IPX does not support routers or switches afaIk. The typical network at the time connected several computers with coaxial cables and terminators at the ends. That's pretty much what network DOS games are designed for.

You mention NDIS drivers but typically for IPX stack you need ODI drivers for your card. Should be pretty easy to find for a common card like Intel Pro/100.
Typically, 16-bit (i.e. not Novell's 32-bit Client32) driver loading looks like:
