VMS beginner having issues setting up networking

[halian]

Hello all!

I've been following Raymii's guide to setting up hobbyist amd64/VMS to the letter, and yet my VM is unable to ping outside addresses; anytime I attempt to, it throws “ping: sendto: no route to host” for IP addresses, or “%SYSTEM-F-UNREACHABLE, remote node is not currently reachable” for named websites. What do I do?

_My_ LAN is 10.0.0.0/24. "10.0.0" is easier to type than "192.168.x".

Quick answer to that - you shouldn't be using IP addresses - set it up properly and use names

   Thanks for the suggestion.  Now, please explain how to "set it up
properly" without typing any IP addresses.

   I use names.  I run my own DNS server (BIND) for my own domain(s),
and I'm confident that I had to specify some actual IP addresses when I
did that.  Or perhaps I'm missing something crucial.

   "Quick" and "enlightening" are spelled differently for a reason?

   "access" from where, exactly?  What's the IP address of there?

   How do you access any other computer from there?

   You seem to know the IP address of the VMS system (abhi).
