Are you in a heterogeneous environment? and did you upgrade to Ultrix 4 at 
the same time?  Our DEC RISC server was cut off from our SUN clients when we
upgraded to Ultrix 4.0 and ORACLE 6.0.29.  The fix was to run /etc/netsetup 
in single user mode and integrate the DEC into a Class C SUN network.  This
step wasn't in the Digital install notes, although it is apparently mentioned
somewhere in the networking guide.
