As has been stated, do NOT load LANtastic (i.e. do not call your 
STARTNET.BAT file).  I've got it working just fine here with one 
small problem which I will describe below.  I have the NodeRunner 2000 
cards from Lantastic, which come with a driver disk that has all the 
files you'll need.  If you have one of these cards, look in the NETWARE 
(I believe) directory of your driver disk.  Copy those files to your hard 
disk (I put them in C:\LANTASTI\NETWARE).  I made a batch file called 
IPX.BAT which loads these files in the right order, which is: 1) LSL.COM, 
2) NRODI.COM, and 3) IPXODI.COM.  If you don't have a NodeRunner, 
substitute your card's ODI driver for #2.  That's it.  Load those files 
and enjoy NetDOOM!

One small problem: After exiting the net game and trying to restart, I 
get an "Open socket" message and NetDOOM will no longer run.  HOWEVER, I 
have found that by unloading IPXODI, then reloading it, this problem is 
solved.  It's only a minor inconvenienve.  I have a REIPX.BAT that does 
this for me (runs IPXODI U, then IPXODI).  The bigger inconvenienve is 
having to leave DOOM at all just to restore a game.  Even worse is when 
DOOM just WON'T restore a net game... oh well.  It's still even more fun 
than single player DOOM.
