When you get this message, are you attempting to ping hosts on the same
network or a network off-site?  Please check that the following files
exist and have the appropriate hostname in the contents;

/etc/net/*/hosts
/etc/nodename

Also, the output from "/usr/sbin/ifconfig -a" and "/bin/netstat -rn"
would be useful for diagnosis.  We'll track it down ...
