Well all that looks ok, now using Asetup look at your various settings but 
specifically node setups and see if it is totally currupted or only 
addresses.
Also check the other settings to see if the curruption has carried through 
all over the setup.fix file. If this has occured you will have to recover 
from a backup which may well involve recovery of ALL data files but try just 
the nodefile.fix and .idx.
