Thanks Brian,

Any safe way to have it stop moaning about the missing disk? Been reading the doco on sysgen, just a bit scared of borking the system before I recover the licence keys :)

Regards,

Daniel,

I've been going round in circles trying to get UCX up and running. I have th=
e AUI transceiver plugged into the back and it has a green light.

It's VMS 6.2. It has been configured at some point as it had some old gatewa=
y and BIND entries.

I run the config tool, and when I select 4 (interface) it says=20

"Warning - No Ethernet device found on system, ESP1"

and then aborts. When I show dev on console it shows a device EZA0: which a M=
AC address.

I've spent hours on this and are feeling discouraged!

HELP DEFINE COMMUNICATION_CONTROLLER ;)

I saw your follow-on.   Ignore this.   The EZ interface should be listed in 
there by default.   BTW, using LIST COMMUNICATION_CONTROLLER will show all
of the default configurable controller types.
