Help!  We just got our DECstation 3100s on the internet, and are trying
to change their internet addresses.  For some reason, even though we
have changed the /etc/hosts file and rebooted, the diskless workstations
(booting off a DECsystem 3100 server) keep coming up with their old
address and therefore won't reboot.  And furthermore, telnetting into
the server (which does boot with its new address) is fantastically slow.
We have checked the /etc/namedb/* files and there are no conflicts.  We
have also updated all of the hosts files in the dlclient0 areas of each
diskless workstation.  Any help or advice would be appreciated.
