When the SIMH VAX/VMS 7.3 instance SIMVAX is serving hecnet.eu I get the following area/node stats reported: Known Area Volatile Summary as of 20-SEP-2012 11:53:22 Area State Circuit Next node to area 4 reachable QNA-0 0 (SIMVAX) Known Node Volatile Summary as of 20-SEP-2012 11:53:37 Executor node = 4.248 (SIMVAX) State = on Identification = DECnet for OpenVMS VAX V7.3 Node State Active Delay Circuit Next node Links 1.1 (MAGICA) QNA-0 0 1.2 (ERNIE) QNA-0 0 1.3 (FNATTE) QNA-0 0 1.4 (GOBLIN) QNA-0 0 1.5 (ZEKE) QNA-0 0 1.6 (GNOME) QNA-0 0 1.7 (BJARNE) QNA-0 0 1.8 (KRILLE) QNA-0 0 ... So only my area known, and weird stats for nodes. Can anyone tell me what is up with my configuration? I'm running Johnny's bridge and if I bring up SLAVE, the AlphaServer 1000A, on the same area it reports all stats correctly. SIMVAX is currently unable to see MIM. I set it up as a non-routing node. When I tried setting it up via NETCONFIG as a routing node I get everything unreachable. Regards, Mark. -- http://www.wickensonline.co.uk http://declegacy.org.uk
