Situation
No apparent changes were made.
A server is not seeing the DA.
A server is not getting the SLP SERVICES information that is should.
The SLP.CFG contains the correct syntax and information.
Restarting the server doesn't correct the problem with the server not seeing the DA.
Doing a SET SLP RESET=ON doesn't correct the problem with the server not seeing the DA.

Resolution
Load MONITOR | SERVER PARAMETERS | SERVICE LOCATION PROTOCOL | and
change the SLP DA DISCOVERY OPTIONS to 4 (this will make the
server read the SLP.CFG file instead and is the recommended
configuration). After making the changes SET SLP RESET=ON and it
should now contact the DA and you should be able to type DISPLAY
SLP SERVICES and your regular services should start
appearing.
Remove the Read-Only setting from SYS:ETC\SLP.CFG then restart SLP by entering 'SET SLP RESET=ON' from the server console
Put a BLANK LINE at the end of the SYS:ETC\SLP.CFG file
copy the SLPTCP.NLM from another source (support pack, or original install CD's)

Additional Information
Possible causes:
SLP DISCOVERY OPTIONS were set to 2 (meaning that it will try to get the DA information over DHCP).
SYS:ETC\SLP.CFG is flagged Read-Only
No Carriage Return, Line Feed at the end of the SYS:ETC\SLP.CFG file
Corrupt SLPTCP.NLM
