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.

Subject: Re: [Simh] Unable to telnet to other hosts

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.
