Install OS/2 Warp/Connectix Virtual PC

Hi -
I am having some network problems with installing OS/2 Warp as a virtual PC within the Connectix Virtual PC software.
The Connectix software emulates a DEC Ethernet card which gets a 192.XXX.XXX.XXX IP address from DHCP - it sees the Host DHCP OK as it gets the domain suffix and dns server info.
Although i am unable to map any LAN drives.
The Host LAN is Token Ring - I think this may be where the problems lies.

I installed Warp 4 then applied fixpack 15 with no problems. Boot into the OS/2 install using the installation disk and 2 install disks. Virtual PC lets you create a default OS/2 partition.
Networking the build is another issue - several sites suggest that using Netbios over IP is the only way to see a LAN beyond the private network.
Either way VPC is unbelievably processor hungry - almost maxes out my P4 1.7 256Mb.

add more memory, it works better with 512 on Windows aka the reviews.
Come to Warpstock in Austin and complain to Connetix.....

Has anyone got OS/2 to work on this product??
Iam tearing my hair out trying to configure MPTS/NetBIOS over IP to get this thing to work.
What default gateways/Wins Server etc should you use ? is it the 192.XXX.XXX.XXX addresses or out office lan addresses.
