I've seen issues sometimes, but I don't know the full extent of what the
exact results might be.
But don't matter. Now we know they are all simh instances.

That's one possibility. Another if he's running on some kind of emulator on a
system that don't actually allow programmatic change of the MAC address, and you need
to set the MAC correctly in the emulator before starting up. And if it is real hardware,
is it connected to some switch then?10baseT? Does he have an adapter that can do SQE?
There are many possible ways things could not work. What we can see isjust that incoming
broadcast/multicast packets work, but so far nothing else.

To unsubscribe send an email to hecnet-leave(a)lists.dfupdate.se Is it WiFi? That doesn't work with DECnet
MAC addresses (it doesn't like it when the NIC changes its address to
aa-00-04-00-xx-yy).

Well, GEEZER (31.278) is not seeing 31.282 as up. So that's why you have a problem.
This usually means that packets are working in one direction, but not the other.
Was this a real machine? How have you connected it to the rest of the network?
