Hi, everyone

I am trying to resurrect a vintage Decstation 5000/25 under a 
new name and IP address.  I have hooked it up to the net
and the hardware network connection appears to be OK

but I am getting the following message for any 
telnet, ftp or NFS mount

"Unable to connect to remote host:  Can't assign requested address"

Any clue what might be causing this?
