Re: [Simh] how to get eth connexion

2013-11-05 Thread gerard . calliet 

Hello,

Thanks for the answers. It works, now.

Just to get some understanding :
1) we need two different MAC address : why ? because the distinction is 
at the mac level ?
2) I saw we need at least one ip host connexion alive to have a 
connexion for simh - I am on Windows with wincap -. Again, why ?


Thanks.

Hi Gérard,

 What does the command XQ show eth returns ?

 You try with Wifi, does it works with a RJ45 cable ?

 Didn't you deactivate an ethernet connection recently oh the PC host
?

 Regards.

Hi Mark,

Thanks for your answer.

I tried the simh 4.0 beta. It's still not working.
I join show ethernet result, ipconfig/all result, my ucx config,
the init file.
I choosed the right eth (eth0 is the active wifi interface on
windows). I gave its mac address as interf mac address in the simh
init file.

I don't understand where is the problem. I am just a beginner on
simh, so I could have done some error, but I don't see what it is.

Hi Gérard,

Try using the latest simh binaries from





https://github.com/simh/Win32-Development-Binaries/blob/Win32-Development-Binaries/simh-4.0-Beta--2013-10-02-5feb20d0.zip

[1]

Alternatively, if you've got a Visual Studio environment (or
MinGW) available, you can build from the latest sources available
from: https://github.com/simh/simh/archive/master.zip [2]

If you are still having problems, provide the output of "SHOW
ETHERNET" from a "sim>" prompt along with the output of
IPCONFIG/ALL from a Windows command prompt, and explain what makes
you think that the ethernet is not working.

Good Luck.

- Mark

What works now?  The Wired network connection or the WiFi one?

We're simulating a whole computer within your desktop system.  Each computer 
that exists on any network has a network device connected to that network wire. 
 That network device, by definition is supposed to have a unique MAC address 
which allows the network to send packets to that device and to receive packets 
from that device.

I'm not sure exactly what you mean by 'need at least one ip host connexion 
alive'.  Are you saying that you need to be connected to a network?

If you are asking 'why' details specifically about WiFi functionality, you are 
beyond the scope of my support.  I don't run simh simulators on WiFi networks 
due to the limitations of WiFi supporting a single MAC address per WiFi 
connection, and my needs to test the breadth of protocol functional for DEC 
systems.

I've tried to walk you through getting things working on a wired network 
connection.  Once you are successful there, you are welcome to explore whether 
what you are trying to do can also be made to work on a WiFi connection.  There 
is some discussion about this in the simh FAQ 
(http://simh.trailing-edge.com/pdf/simh_faq.pdf).

[Simh] RT-11 bootable tape

2013-11-05 Thread Sander Reiche 
Hi all,

Trying to get an actual scsi tape running on a CQD220A on real iron(tm),
but I'm still trying to figure things out. I was originally using
Ersatz-11, but I though I'd give it a go on SimH.

When booted from a bootable simulated TK50(tk50.tap), it consistently halts
on trying to run MDUP.Mx to further the "installation" of RT-11 from said
tape.

Re: [Simh] Unable to telnet to other hosts

2013-11-05 Thread Christopher Myers 
Hey,

I think you're attaching the wrong Ethernet interface.

You've got it set to 'em1' when
http://www.wherry.com/gadgets/retrocomputing/vax-simh.html has it set to
'eth0.'  Not sure if this is what the problem is, just something I noticed.


Also, just a heads up. I've had a somewhat similar problem on VAXStation
3100 running OpenVMS 7.3.

I couldn't TELNET to hosts, but could ping them and the error I would get
is the same.

-TCPIP-E-NO_RECOVERY, unexpected name server failure

When I was trying to figure this out, I discovered that OpenVMS apparently
wants a name attached to that host. So you need to give 192.168.0.37 a text
name like "MYHOST" and then you'll be able to telnet with that name and
(oddly) the IP address.

What you need to do is go into the tcpip configuration program.

$ TCPIP

TCPIP> SET HOST MYHOST /ADDRESS=192.168.0.37

TCPIP> SHOW HOST

This is how I fixed my little problem on real equipment. I had a working
ping to a host, but no ability to TELNET.

Re: [Simh] Unable to telnet to other hosts

2013-11-05 Thread Mark Pizzolato - Info Comm 
Hi Chris,

On Priya's system either eth0 or em1 would produce the same results.  The simh 
Ethernet generic naming paradigm makes this true.

Priya's first problem is that he can't ping.  I'll step back once packets are 
moving on the wire.  Once he can ping, your ideas may be relevant.

[Simh] Beta 4 script feature/bug with set throttle n%

2013-11-05 Thread Terry Newton 
Hello,

The new simh supports substitution using %, a nice feature
however it breaks scripts that use: set throttle [some number]%
A workaround is to use \% as in: set throttle 50\%
But would be better to ignore % unless a parameter is actually supplied,
then existing startup scripts (almost all of mine) don't have to be modified.

So, in scp.c I changed...

if (*ip == '%') {   /* sub? */

...to...

if ((*ip == '%') && (ip[1] != ' ') && (ip[1] != '\0')) { /* sub? */

...and set throttle 50% works correctly now, also fixes display commands
like 'echo Throttle is set to 50% now'. At least provided there's not a 
non-space
character after the %, otherwise substitution is triggered.

This is a good idea.  I've generalized it a little.  Only %'s followed by 
digits, alpha or * characters cause substitution, others are left as is.
