I'm running ovms 8.3 w/ DECnet & TCP/IP under charon-nce. eth0 used by host OS, eth1 used by emulator (no entry for eth1 in `intefaces' file), both connected to the same switch. Thanks, Oleg - that's basically the same setup I've got (except for the interfaces file). Gotta go now, but I'll fool with this some more tonight. Bob
