The system in question is an Axp 2100/4-275 with FDDI and Ethernet (both on EISA) and is running OVMS 6.1 and TCPWARE 4.1 1. Is it possible to have two IP adressess on two two different interfaces (ether EWA-0 and Fddi FEA-0) ? If so, how do I specify the different addresses and lines in the configuration file ? Pls not that I want to have routing between the two ports since on of them (the ethernet port) will be connected to an external company via a dedicated router and they will only be talking to this machine. 2. How come that the ethernet interface shows address 00-00-00-00-00-00 when I peeked from NCP SHOW LINE EWA-0 CHAR ? The FEA-0 interface displays a "proper" MAC address.

I assume from this that you want 4 IP addresses when you have 2 interfaces. You can do this using the NETCU ADD SECONDARY command. Add the commands to the ROUTING.COM file so that they'll get set up whenever you start TCPware. Add lines as follows: ADD SECONDARY ADD SECONDARY Note that and are assigned to the interfaces. Secondary addresses aren't assigned to a particular interface; but standard routing rules apply so if these addresses aren't in the same network as the interface addresses, you'll need special routes. An example might be: EWA-0 is assigned 1.0.0.1. FEA-0 is assigned 2.0.0.1. Secondary addresses 1.0.0.2 and 2.0.0.2 are added. You system will now respond whether someone tries to connect to 1.0.0.1, 1.0.0.2, 2.0.0.1, or 2.0.0.2. TCPware does NOT automatically forward IP datagrams between interfaces regardless of how many interfaces you have. To turn this support on, you must issue the NETCU ENABLE FORWARDING command. > > 2.

Is the device "offline"? If the error count is not 0 and/or the device is offline, I would suspect something may be wrong with the card. Or, it might just be a cabling problem - check to make sure the Ethernet cable is properly connected and configured. You can also try the following sequence to see whether TCPware has more luck with the interface: DEFINE TCPWARE_HID_DEVICE EWA0: NETCU SHOW PASSWORD DEASSIGN TCPWARE_HID_DEVICE The "hardware ID" displayed is the last 4 bytes of the MAC address. - Bernie Volz Process Software Corporation ================================================================================ Archive-Date: XXX, 8 May 1995 16:13:24 -0400 Subject: ANNOUCEMENT: TCPware seminars Message-ID: <1995May8.161325.1128@process.com> From: rogers@process.com (Donna Rogers) Date: 8 May 95 16:13:24 -0400 MIME-Version: 1.0 Join a week of TCPware Training Seminars at Process Software Corporation in Framingham, MA June 12-16.

Three possibilities: a) using real routing you can configure TCPware using CNFNET.COM and adding EWA-0,FEA-0, where every controller must receive a unique IP- address, which are not in the same network. The default gateway must be set to the internetaddress of your ethernet controller. The routers one side must have a internet address in the same network as your ethernet controllers side the other side of the router must have a IP- address in the same network like the external company. b) configuration steps like above but using subnetting, its not real routing seen from external internet. more about subnetting in INtroduction and Users guide Page 3-5 c) not if this works, but try unnumbered Interface. more on this see page 40-124 Management Guide.

I'm not sure I understand what you want to do. You can't "share" memory using TCP/IP. TCP/IP is a protocol to transfer data between two processes (typically a client and a server), so you need to send the data between the systems. Once the data has been transferred, you can modify it and send it back. You need to implement an application protocol to handle this. It is not possible to "connect a socket with a buffer". You can READ into a buffer from a socket or WRITE a buffer to a socket. One point worth mentioning ... TCP is *NOT* a message oriented protocol. It is a byte stream protocol. This means if you ask to read 1000 bytes and the sender has writing 100 bytes, then 200 bytes, and then 300 bytes, you'll probably get all 600 bytes in the read (or, you might get as little as 1 byte). Each write therefore does not add a "message marker". This means you may need to add your own messaging protocol (such as sending a byte count before sending the data). Hope that helps. - Bernie Volz Process Software Corporation ================================================================================ Archive-Date: XXX, 17 May 1995 21:25:51 +0100 Subject: Microvax3100/VMS5.5-2/TcpWare3.1-Internet?

I have to put a microvax on the internet via a (non permanent) dialup slip line. We have an existing Tcp/ip network comprising several Microvax, 3 Unix boxes and loadsa Pcs. Our network is 192.0.0.x Our Demon Ip is 158.152.41.22 I have read the Tcpware manuals regarding Slip dialup, but it is not very explicit in the order in which things should be done. I have used cnfnet to add the Slip-0 line, tried to do the Netcu> Set gateway 192.0.0.2 which is the ip address of the microvax with the modem. I am not sure of the exact format of the netcu>add route command, but I have tried a few things. One of the problems I am haveing is that after I used cnfnet, and restarted tcpware, tcp had allocated my terminal device (modem) so that I am unable to do my dial up bit (at the moment, I am planning on dialling in manually, then writing a kermit script when I have the Slip bit sorted.) So, do I need to reconfigure tcp to get rid of the permanent slip thing? If anyone out there has any experience in doing something like this, please could you mail me with any info you have available. Thanks in advance Laurie...

(rest of original message deleted) The order you want to do things in is: 0) If the line is real modem device to VMS, ALLOCATE the terminal. 1) Use KERMIT or SET HOST/DTE to dial the remote end of the SLIP line. 2) Login or whatever you need to do to set the remote end up as a SLIP line. 3) Exit KERMIT or SET HOST/DTE 4) Issue the NETCU START/IP SLIP-0 ... command to tell TCPware to start the SLIP line. If you use KERMIT, you can also use scripting in KERMIT and a .COM file to do this automatically for you. Some other points ... V3.1 of TCPware is very old. V4.1-3 is the current version. If possible, do upgrade. If you need additional assistance, please open a support call via email to support@process.com.

These "leased" addresses have a set expiration time which is automatically determined by the DHCP server using parameters established by the network administrator. In this way, network efficiency is improved based on the type of activity on the network. For example, if a network supports many laptop computers which require frequent IP addresses, the administrator can choose a short lease that only lasts several hours. This ensures that unused IP addresses will be freed up as soon as possible. If, however, the network includes many stable desktop machines that rarely migrate, then the administrator will probably allow addresses that last several months.

Possible? Message-ID: From: alwin@ec.ele.tue.nl (Alwin Mulder) Date: Tue, 23 May 1995 08:41:33 UNDEFINED Hello, If have a question to find out if this is possible using tcp/ip, and if so, how to do it. I want to connect two computers with an ethernet-link and use tcp/ip to let one computer read directly from a buffer (not a file) on the other computer. I know you normally work asynchronously, reading information after sort-off handshaking, but I really want to be able to just read from a buffer, initiated by the reading computer. The reason I want to read from a buffer is because I've got a hardware card which normally reads info from a file (interrupt-driven), but I want to read from a buffer over a network instead of reading a file over a network. I hope someone can help me with this. A million thanks in advance.

Is there anybody using TCPware 4.1 with Oracle's SQL*net version 2.x ? Oracle's manuals seem to state that TCPware is no longer supported with SQL*net 2.x, but that can't mean that they don't work together (tell me, please, that it is so...). So I'm interested if anybody could tell me some useful experiences using TCPware with Net 2.

Message-ID: <3qhs0f$383@ftp.space.net> From: Joerg Ziegler Date: Wed, 31 May 95 15:36:51 PDT Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Need some help, the environment: AXP/OpenVMS TCPware from Process Software Corp. (Version 4.1-2) DECMessageQ V2.0 In DECMessageQ there where supported UCX and Multinet, but we've heard about that some people runs also successfully with TCPware. What have we done: We've placed the TCPware's UCX$IPC.OLB and UCX$IPC_SHR.EXE to sys$common:[syslib] and then We've modified DMQ$EXE:DMQ$UCX_TCPIP_LD.LNK to generate the link driver for TCPware, this works successfully. But when starting DECMessageQ we receive for the link driver: TCPIP_LINK_DRIVER 31-MAY-1995 08:24:44.39 E Failed to start network listener %SYSTEM-E-BADESCAPE, syntax error in escape sequence. We've heard about some inconsistence in UCX emulation within TCPware for prior version. Anybody also running this Configuration? Anybody knows what to check? Which version of TCPware is required?

Humes) Date: 30 May 1995 20:29:25 GMT Greetings, I need to provide TCP/IP connectivity for a small number of VMS systems and am looking for recommendations for appropriate products. We have used KiNet from Ki Research previously to allow a UNIX host to become a DECNet node, but now that the majority of our network is TCP/IP it would make more sense to make our VMS systems TCP/IP hosts. The VMS systems are VAX 8550s that are currently running VMS 5.5 and are likely to be frozen at 5.5 due to software that is not supported at higher levels. Our UNIX hosts are Sun or Sun equivalent systems running SunOS 4.1.3 and we have no immediate plans to migrate to Solaris 2+. Our TCP/IP connectivity requirements are fairly minimal. We need to be able to transfer files between the UNIX and VMS systems and would like the software to be able to handle file and data format conversions. Also we need to be able to log into the VMS systems from the UNIX hosts and vice versa. Any recommendations, good or bad, would be most appreciated. =========================================================================== Dave Humes >> humesdg1@aplcomm.jhuapl.edu << =========================================================================== ================================================================================ Archive-Date: XXX, 29 May 1995 10:26:40 GMT Subject: SURVEY: DECnet 4 --> ??

If anyone of you has ever done such an poeration I will very gladly hear from you about such an experience. I'm especially interested in the following topics : - Number of machines (end-nodes) involved ? - Number of routers involved ? - VMS version prior to the migration ? - VMS version after migrating ? - problems that have arisen during the migration ? - duration of the migration ? Thank you to all who will answer my question. I will post statistics about the answers I will receive (If I receive any ??!!) if some of you are interested. Oh yes, in the case you have done a migration to TCP/IP could you also mention the product you have used (Multinet, TCPware, Fusion, Pathway, ...) Thanks again.
