Actually, the easiest thing to do is start up DECnet-Ultrix first, and then
start up the TCP/IP stuff. DECnet changes your Ethernet hardware address
(sigh - what a stupid thing to do), but then IP starts up and uses the
new Ethernet hardware address.

For other machines - either wait until the ARP cache times out or do an
arp -d hostname (superuser privledges) to remove the improper address.
