Subject: I crashed and I cannot get up!

After all the work getting the ghostscript working, now I have a problem
with just getting things running again.
Systemic Details:
Sun IPX running SunOS 4.1.2
No patches
Attached serial HP Paintjet
Other "Things" on the network
Several Macs Running System 7
Kpath - minimal configuration necessary to get IP forwarding
Several Suns Running Tops 3.0 (not this one)
Several PC's running Tops 3.0
Multiple Printers with Appletalk interfaces
After getting everything running and playing with the full system for about a
week, I managed to crash my system just when one of the Mac User's wanted
to do something real. When I rebooted, I cannot get anything running beyond
the atalkd. My atalkd.conf file looks like the following:
> ifconfig le0 128.0
> le0 EtherTalk
> zone EtherTalk
Simple and straight forward. if you check after starting atalkd you find
that it is running (using ps) and has established a couple of entries in my
routing table (netstat -r).
Next step is to register the workstation:
> nbprgstr opus:Workstation
Returns:
> nbp_rgstr: Can't assign requested address
> Can't register opus:Workstation@*
Ok, so lets see what else doesn't work. Try something simple like getting
zones:
> getzones
Returns:
> atp_sreq: Can't assign requested address
How about looking at the rest of the network with nbplkup. it also returns
the above error.
Do I have an old data file around somewhere that I need to get rid of
(maybe as part of the boot process)? Where do I go from here. The Mac
user's wanted to print something today, otherwise they will farm it out to
a printer. Somebody please give me some pointers!!!
