Hi all, trying to set up my Alpha (running VMS 8.3) on HECnet.
I installed DECnet Phase IV and configured it using NETCONFIG.COM,
told it to use my new node ID 2.150
I have set up a Multinet DECnet-over-IP link
However, SHOW NET gives me "Product: DECNET Node: LOKI
Address(es): 1.1"
Do I need to change the node address somewhere else? Have I missed a step?
It has been a long time since I've installed and configured DECnet, but do
you simply need to stop and restart DECnet?

Yup, Fidonet is still around, still some traffic on the echos even. I get my feed from http://www.easternstar.info/ (I LOVE that website, so 1994).
Until then you can of course get echo/netmail through my BBS :)

I'm kinda out of touch here - is Fidonet still alive? I thought that
disappeared ages ago.
My wife used to administer a Fidonet node; if Fidonet is still around
she'll really want to try it out.

You're trying to convince me to get my DECnet router back up and running aren't you...

I'm not positive, but I bet that one of your logicals isn't quite right inside a command procedure.
I *think* what you want is, before you run the command that's giving that error:
$ DEFINE/USER SYS$INPUT SYS$COMMAND
By default, SYS$INPUT refers to the command procedure itself, and that's not a valid source for SMG$ operations. This would redirect the input for the next run program to SYS$COMMAND which should be the controlling terminal.
