I have played with this more than once and here is what I have
found.  There are two possible solutions.  First, get rid of
QEMM, I don't think to highly of any of the memory managers
when I run into problems like this. Or, if you want to solve
this problem, take all of the pcnfs stuff out of your 
AUTOEXEC.BAT.  QEMM  will only load the PRT program high anyway.
The big savings will come from loading the drivers high.  If
you take the net init command out, run optimize, then put it
back in, it should work.

Here is a copy of CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT with the same
programs you mentioned.
