Question? remains, how did you get Decnet 3.0 running
and did you
obtain the necessary patch.
Yes, applied the license. I? chose VAX/VMS 3.5 because in? March of 2020
you had gone as far as getting a license error on VMS3.0 that said it
needed VMS3.4+. I also tried to use the licensed NETACP.EXE on vms3.0,
does not look promising, says it has problems loading. At this point,
Cisco may be? the answer with the nifty feature for DECnet NAT, I will
explore it sometime. Anyway, my experiments are here if you or anyone is
interested:

Uh? The mac address AA-00-04-00-2A-7C means it has
address 31.42.
Just sayin...
It's forced at the Linux/SimH level.

You've got to set MAX AREA large enough; 63 is the
obvious value.?
With it not set, the system apparently is defaulting it to 1, so
when
you gave it a node address without area number it defaulted the area
number to 1, which of course can't work.
There is no option, at least in NCP, for any Area parameters.
