Miles,

At first glance, I would say that DECnet is not running.

Is DECnet configured and running on this system?

Miles,

looks like DECnet has not been configured/started.

$ MC NCP LIS EXE CHAR

should tell you, if DECnet is configured and whether DECnet Phase IV or DECnet-OSI is installed.

Miles,

Do a SHOW NETWORK.

Was DECnet started? Is the NETACP process active?

Miles,

I suggest that you check the SYSTARTUP_VMS.COM file and verify that DECnet is started correctly on reboot.

Miles,

Are you running Decnet IV or DECNET V?

Decnet IV must be started during your boot.
DECNET V is automatically started.

Remember that DECNET must be the first network protocol started.

Bob C.,

Are you running Decnet IV or DECNET V?

The NCP LIS EXE CHAR output clearly shows, that DECnet IV is involved here.
