            Thanks to Olle Eriksson, Iain Barker and James Sainsbury for some
    great information that I will file away.

            As it turns out, the problem was due to a problem with the patch kit
    6 installation. As I understand the error, it tried to install more patches
    than the tar command could handle on its command line, and so they didn't
    get unpacked and none were installed. I had thought that the patch install
    had completely aborted, and I installed patch kit 4, but it must have made
    some changes to the system that kept the network from working.

            I could possibly have backed out the patch kits, but it was easier
    to reinstall the operating system and use patch kit 4.
