The address is 31.282. No File access, Phone or NCP Tell to other nodes but it is still
able to go out and find a router. It (31.282) can phone itself and set host but other
nodes it just hangs. If I phone another node it will just sit at "Establishing Decnet
Link and then error to "Node is not reachable.

No. Qbus ethernet or Unibus ethernet makes no difference here.
Does anything else work? NCP to other nodes? Phone? File access?
What's the address of that microvax?

Hello, I currently have 8 simh vax machines on Hecnet
all working fine.
Its a mix of machines running VMS 3.5 to 7.3 and while some were a bit
of a challenge they all talk. I recently configured a Microvax II with
MicroVMS 4.6 as well as Decnet 4.6 and assigned it to my area 31. The
network loads without errors and I am able to SET HOST to itself but to
no other nodes in my area or vice versa. SHOW KNOWN CIRCUITS shows the
hosts I manually defined. SHOW KNOWN CIRCUITS CHARACTERISTICS shows a
designated router in my area so its finding that. If I bring a router
node down it successfully finds another in the area.
The microvax node:
Known Circuit Volatile Characteristics as of 5-SEP-1987 11:37:16
Circuit = QNA-0
State = on
Service = disabled
Designated router = 31.278
Cost = 4
Router priority = 64
Hello timer = 15
Type = Ethernet
Adjacent node =31.278
Listen timer = 45
The working nodes match with the exception of the circuit. All the other
machines are UNA-0 (UNIBUS) and this one is of course QNA-0 Couldthis
be the problem?
Brian.
