I installed v9.2-1 on Virtual Box 7.0.8. on windows 11 with a bridged adaptor (8254OEM) setting to the LAN adaptor.
I followed Raymii's wonderful guide.
TCPIP version x6.0 installed fine and it's connecting to the local network fine through the bridged adaptor.
I can ping and telnet/ssh to other hosts and I'm able to telnet/ssh from other hosts to the VMS host.
The problem is Decnet. I installed Decnet (phase IV) successfully and configured it to the area and node setting for my home network; but it's not communicating to the rest of the network. The other VMS systems don't see via decnet (but TCPIP is fine).
I've tried changing the virtual adaptor to the DECnet MAC address, but that didn't help either.
Anyone have any ideas to get DECnet to communicate as well as TCPIP does from the virtual host to the home network?
I'd greatly appreciate the help.
Mike

MCR NCP SHOW KNOWN CIRC COUNTER command gave the following.
Code: Select all
$ mcr ncp show known circ counter Known Circuit Counters as of 21-MAY-2023 16:33:15 Circuit = EIA-0 2131 Seconds since last zeroed 0 Terminating packets received 0 Originating packets sent 0 Terminating congestion loss 0 Transit packets received 0 Transit packets sent 0 Transit congestion loss 1 Circuit down 0 Initialization failure 0 Adjacency down 0 Peak adjacencies 141 Data blocks sent 7050 Bytes sent 0 Data blocks received 0 Bytes received 0 Unrecognized frame destination 0 User buffer unavailable $
it's clear (from the CIRCUIT EIA-0 counters), that NO DECnet protocol packets are being received. There was a 'Circuit down' event - most likely associated with the send failure (carrier check failed) on LINE EIA-0. MC LANCP SHOW DEVICE/INTERNAL EIA0 should confirm this (look at the driver messages). And then no further DECnet packets have been received.
You can look at the network interface counters and characteristics for the various protocols with SDA
$ ANALYZE/SYS
SDA> SHOW LAN/DEV=EIA
will present lots of detailled data.
And you can compare this with a working DECnet Phase IV node.
In an end-node only DECnet network on a LAN, an end node just calculates the DECnet MAC address from the DECnet address of the remote node and sends the packet to that address on the LAN. If the remote LAN interface does not listen to that address - maybe due to a problem with the Hypervisor, the packet will never arrive in the VM. If DECnet routing nodes are available on the LAN, the end-nodes will announce their existance with end-node hello multicast messages, so the routers lean about the end-nodes and the routers will send router hello messages, so that the end-nodes learn about the router(s).
If you try to ping this node using IP and then look up the MAC address with $ arp -a , which MAC address is shown for this node ?
Volker.

Re: Decnet not talking to local network v.9.2-1
Its not something silly, like having to define as well as set the circuit and line characteristics in ncp ?
$ mcr ncp list known circ char
$ mcr ncp list known line char
$ mcr ncp show known circ char
$ mcr ncp show known line char
checking state and MAC address
Noted on previous config that DNA routing is on EIA3
