Hi. I have a problem. When i use EMM386.exe and HIMEM.EXE all the programs

The X=TEST is good, but before you I= include ranges, you should first test
whether things work without them. Try taking out the two I= include ranges
as a first test. If that makes things work, you can add parts of the
ranges back in slowly.
Since you are loading network drivers high, I would always suggest using
the VDS option of EMM386, in case the network drivers need VDS support to
load in remapped memory.
If X=TEST without I= and the VDS option don't change anything, the best
thing to try is to do a full exclude of all high memory as in X=A000-EFFF
(keep VDS too), in order to be sure that the problem really is with high
memory loads.
If that works with full exclusion, then you'll need to manually X= exclude
the range(s) which cause problems. Plus I= include nonproblematic
A000-B7FF ranges in since those are not automatically included. If it
does not work with full exclusion, we're looking at a different problem
unrelated to upper memory entirely.
Frankly, I don't see a need to ever use FDXMS.SYS in a CONFIG.SYS file
nowadays.
