Thanks Johnny and thanks Mark. For some reason I thought that this was
already done since IP was working.
This is just what I needed to know to finish this thing off. I really
appreciate the assistance.

Kurt, Mark is absolutely right.
You do not have the IP line driver generated into DECnet.
This is what I suspect quite a few mails back between us, and tried to
point out.
And do not try to just edit CEMAC.MAC to add those lines Mark mention.
That will not work. You need to run through the DECnet generation
process, and then the IPNET postprocessing step. It's all in the TCP/IP
manual, if you read it.

Kurt,
I think you need to have the ?IP" network device NETGENed into
DECnet.
The fact that you first error occurs at the NCP SET PROC IP TOP makes
me think
that DECnet does not have a driver for the IP device loaded. When
I made the ?Frodo? distribution available, I did a new SYSGEN for an 11/70
and also a NETGEN. In the NETGEN for the Unibus system a ?UNA? was the
ethernet device and on a Qbus system (the actual Frodo 30.1) a QNA device
is used.
It would be helpful if you typed out LB:[5,54]CETAB.MAC as it could
confirm if
the IP device has been NETGENed in or not. In CETAB.MAC the 3rd
actual line of code should look like:
PDV$DF <AUX,EVL,ECL,XPT,NCT,RTH,LAT,DLX>,<EPM>,<UNA,IP>
Three lines below that should be:
SLT$DF IP,IP,XPT,LF.TIM,0,0,,0.,0.,15.
It?s been a while since I added the IP-0-0 LIN and Circuits to my
system, but
I try to do that to one of my PiDP-11s and post the walk
through for it.
Below I?ve put some information of the sequence of startup command
files that
may help you understand the files involved.
In the LB:[1,2]STARTUP.CMD of the Frodo distribution RSX and DECnet
are started
as is normal for any RSX. It then chains to LB:[1,2]INSPROG.CMD
which brings up the DU1: disk that you either download from RSX11M.COM or
the Simh boot.ini will make a blank one.
At the end of the INSPROG.CMD two questions are asked with timeouts.
The first
will load LAT and the second loads Johnny?s TCP/IP. It loads the
TCP/IP by chaining to LB:[IP]IPINS.CMD which will load TCP/IP and either
DHCP an IP address or set a static IP address. At the end of that file then
LB:[IP]IPAPPL.CMD is executed which sets up FTP, TELNET, NTP and other
applications.
Now, in the Frodo distribution IPAPPL.CMD, there is a line that was
either
commented or deleted that chains to LB:[IPNET]INSHECNET.CMD which is
used to link the actual node Frodo (HECnet 30.1) to MIM
Your [IPNET]INS.CMD looks identical to the INSHECNET.CMD on Frodo
including the
host port # which may be something we need to change?
Do you have a HECnet address from Johnny? Also, where are you
planning to
connect to HECnet?
There is a [IPNET]INS.NEW which is the template that Johnny provides and
it does
not have a port specified on MIM. I don?t remember the exact
mechanics on MIM That accepts connections but that may be a function of
that port # Frodo connects to MIM on IP-0-10 but that is not specified on
Frodo but on MIM.
Best,
Mark

So, I added this command to the startup.cmd: @LB:[IPNET]INS.CMD.
I didn't modify the file yet. I wanted to see what it would do
The result after rebooting was this:
INS LB:[IPNET]MLTCOM/UIC=[1,54]/PRO=[RW,RW,,]
INS LB:[IPNET]MLTNET
INS LB:[IPNET]MLTCFG
NCP SET PROC IP TOP

There are lots of errors, so I am not sure where to start.
Any advice would be appreciated.
