What we discovered was this: There is a file called ETC:SERVERS.DAT which lists where the servers are located. This file uses a logical symbol SYS: to define the device on which the files reside. The definition of SYS: is translated and loaded when the internet kernel is installed into VMS at system boot time. What apparently happened was that the files had been moved, and the definition of SYS: was changed, but the system needed to be rebooted in order for the change to take effect, since the old definition of SYS: was still loaded in the internet kernel. Thanks to those who offered their assistance. Ron ------
