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.
