[HECnet] decnet known area/nodes from SIMH instance

[hvlems at zonnet.nl]

Try $ show network/old
That will tell you whether you've got a router or an endnode. 
Based on what you posted so far you have the former.

Dan,

Thanks for the help.
Unfortunately it didn't make any difference.

Hi,

You need :


ncp>def exec type routing iv
ncp>set exec state off
$@startnet

Also have you got dvnetrtg license loaded ?

That's what I normally forget.

Thanks

Dan

Bit of a puzzler here, but it'll probably turn out to be my configuration.
When the SIMH VAX/VMS 7.3 instance SIMVAX is serving hecnet.eu I get the following area/node stats reported:

So only my area known, and weird stats for nodes. Can anyone tell me what is up with my configuration?
I'm running Johnny's bridge and if I bring up SLAVE, the AlphaServer 1000A, on the same area it reports all stats correctly. SIMVAX is currently unable to see MIM. I set it up as a non-routing node. When I tried setting it up via NETCONFIG as a routing
node I get everything unreachable.

Regards, Mark.
