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. - Mark From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Christopher Myers Sent: Tuesday, November 05, 2013 7:55 AM To: priya chincholikar Cc: [email protected] 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.
