Jim makes an extremely good point.  Let me just reinforce it by saying that
ANSTART ARPA will fail if the files HOSTS.NET.SYS and SERVICES.NET.SYS do not
exist.  Also make sure that Ethernet is enabled in NMMGR's configuration (it
probably is) and that SERVICES needs to have service DAServer   987/tcp
enabled.  Oh, and HOSTS needs localhost.  BTW, if the 2 files I mentionned
are not found, look for HOSTSAMP and SERVSAMP in the same grooup in account
and copy them to the appropriate names.
 
Kind regards,
