Ok, I've applied patch and can get some debug now.

While doing as root:
http://lrn.ru/~bga/dosemu/good-boot.log.bz2 8213
(Server was found and attached.)

While being simple user:
http://lrn.ru/~bga/dosemu/notfound-boot.log.bz2 27386
(I see some network traffic on Gkrellm, bigger than
usual, but server wasn't found. In log it looks like I can't
get RIP packets if I haven't root privilegies.)

$ cat /proc/net/ipx_interface
Network Node_Address Primary Device Frame_Type
00000002 0004761CBCA8 Yes eth0 802.2
