Well, it seems the problem has been fixed. 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
