I'm connected! Thanks to all for the help!
As usual - a stupid mistake.... When I ran the sys-unconfig to change the IP and hostname, on bootup there were errors associated with the hostname/IP match. Then I remembered that I'd copied the /etc/hosts file from one machine to the other - by...
I've already checked with my DNS server (I'm at a large university) - my IP's are valid on both machines. I could try a differenct IP address, just to double check... I'm not using NIS.
results of netstat -r -n
In general they are both identical except for different IP addresses and the numbers listed under Use. I included both numbers as not working/working.

In fact, I have two machines. One is able to ping the gateway, one is not. I've even tried copying these files from one system to the other...
Let me add....
The /etc/services file has this in it:
dtspc 6112/tcp # CDE subprocess control
Do I add or comment out (due to security reasons) the following line in the /etc/inetd.conf files?
dtspc stream tcp nowait root /usr/dt/bin/dtspcd /usr/dt/bin/dtspcd
It doesn't seem to matter...
When I attempt to open 'this host' in the CDE environment, I get the following error: This action cannot be exectured on host 'localhost' because the 'dtspc' service is not properly configured on this host.
