Most likely because CURLY is an endnode, and you already have an
ethernet circuit up and running. As I said before, you can only have one
circuit active at a time.
I sortof have a recollection that you can have multiple circuits
enabled, but I might be misremembering some details.
Anyway, I suspect that you really need to turn the ethernet circuit off
here before NCP allows you to turn the IP-0-0 circuit on.

Well, just taking a peek at CURLY, I can also tell that you have not
managed to get the multinet links up and running, but are communicating
with DECnet over ethernet. :-)

are an

But others can
exist, and

goes

? ? ?DECnet-over-IP,
? ? ?but want to be an endnode. You need ethernet for TCP/IP to
work, but
? ? ?you

DECnet will

ethernet line.

? ? ?I would actually say that you wouldn't. Of course, there is
nothing

HECnet nodename
database,
? ? ?it contains 700 nodes. That will take a while
to type in.
? ? ?However, you can copy the nodename database from another
DECnet node,
? ? ?and then use this.
? ? ?But you need at least the nodename of someone where you will
be copying

adding MIM at
the start.
? ? ?After that, there is [5,54]NNC which is the nodename
collector task.
? ? ?Run

with

? ? ?Then stop and restart the node name server, and you have all
the nodes
