Thanks heaven for this TRULY EXCELLENT group!
I asked to following question yesterday:

Selden E Ball Jr <SEB_at_LNS62.LNS.CORNELL.EDU> had the following
information about the DECnet "problem":
> According to DEC's LAN Traffic Monitor database,

But the real reason why things where slow/hanging was that
during the process of changing IP adresses, I must have done
something wrong. Hellebo Knut <Knut.Hellebo_at_nho.hydro.com>
suggested that I do the following:
1. Run 'netsetup' again, and make absolutely everthing
is setup correctly.
2. Run 'nfssetup' also, and reboot.
This solved my problem, HURRAH!
Thanks to the following persons who also came with good
suggestions:
