About the DTSS. Maybe there are not any DECdtss servers in that
LAN. If this is the case, you can either easily configure your
system to supply the time or maybe the easiest thing to is just
to block the event completely, like
$ mc ncl block event dispatcher * global filter -
((Node, Dtss), Too Few Servers Detected)
Of course effect of this command would disappear at next reboot
so he proper (permanent) procedre would be
1) copy sys$manager:net$event_local.template to 'same'.ncl
2) then edit that file to contain mentioned "block ..."
3) execute the file $mc ncl @sys$manager:net$event_local.ncl

| Further, about the SYS$NODE as well as SYS$NODE_FULLNAME
The proper way to fix these is to execute
$ @sys$manager:net$configure advanced
and choose option 2, i.e. "Change namespace/naming information"
(or something like that...). Go through the stuff and voila,
SYS$NODE as well as SYS$NODE_FULLNAME are defined properly.
After this is done, check whether there exists (right now!, but
not after next reboot) a file
SYS$MANAGER:NET$STARTUP_RENAME.COM.
Check that file and if this file appears to rename your node
back to something like empty name, just delete this file (before
rebooting).
Like .1 said, proper value of SYS$NODE is VERY ESSENTIAL to many
products. Two phase commit protocol (TP_SERVER), LAT, Infoserver
Client are few which fail to start if SYS$NODE is not defined
properly.

I think it's best to check this file whenever you find it. I found
that EWS$DEFINE_NODE creates one of these files to rename your server
to the name of the latest EWS node you added! The problem is that you
don't look for the file, and it only gets executed when you restart
DECnet (or maybe only when you reboot). Its syntax is fairly obvious
to look at, so if it isn't doing what you want, delete it. Getting the
node back to its correct name is a pain.
Note also that many procedures check the existence of SYS$NODE to see
if DECnet is up. So don't define it unitl DECnet is up.
