System hang on "581" 1

[zackgj]

Boot RS6000(AIX 4.3.3.10). operation panel show "581"
System hang for a few minutes. Finally get to the
login screen. login and found tcpip doesn't work.
ping loopback is ok, use ifconfig to show en0 is up.
but can not get to other machine, can not ping
this from other machine either. check inetd and
telnetd is running. Hardwre problem?
Could anyone give some suggestion?

Thank!

What's your subnet mask?

What's your default gateway?

"hosts=local,bind" (without the "&quot.
