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?

The address is 31.282. No File access, Phone or

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?

To unsubscribe send an email to hecnet-leave(a)lists.dfupdate.se 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 butto
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.
