Make sure that your NeXT isn't configured to be on a "Netinfo
Network."  This is the usual cause of things like this, where the
system is trying to bind to an upper level netinfo server on the
network.  Usually, if you don't have a network connected, it just gets
an "destination unreachable" error, but it is likely not getting that
with the SLIP interfaces configured.

I'm using it on my (just upgraded last night) 3.0 system, and it seems
to work just fine.
