You don't mean IRQ 0x60; you mean IRQ 10 on the hardware side and interrrupt
(INT instruction) 0x60 on the software side; if you really have tried to 
set the IRQ to 0x60, I'm suprised it even loaded!

It looks like you have a diskless system.  You need expert advice from your
local support people.  Failing that, you should try the newsgroup 
comp.protocols.tcp-ip.ibmpc; however you are going to need a lot more
information about your network and the existing network drivers before you
get useful information from there.  If you have to go in cold, you should
include a copy of config.sys and autoexec.bat and be prepared to supply 
people with MEM or MSD output, although they tend to be too big for posting.

If you really are diskless, your only hope may be that it is possible to
put a packet driver shim on top of your existing network driver (assuming
that the simple option of a second network card is unreasonable).

I doubt that you have a disk onto which to install it.

PS Lynx 2.6, from your headers, is quite old.
