[comp.sys.dec] Lans on vax-station 3100 's

Has anybody wired up 2 Vaxstation 3100's and tried to rlogin to 1 from the
other ? If so, what am I doing wrong !!

Essentially, I booted the basic system (choice 1 from the menu).
Chose a class a network in netsetup
But when I do a rlogin I get "Network not reachable".
I logged in at the root. But I didn't go to single user / superuser mode.
Should I have ?
I seem to have superuser / system manager priveleges just the way I am.
I feel I am not doing something big. Like start up a daemon or not invoking
tcp / ip...


Arrggh. We had 1 guy come in to see what was wrong, he spotted 1 error in the
IP network numbers so we fixed it . He went away. However, the problem remained.

I am new at Unix / workstations/ Lans, so any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Phil Neal

If you booted single user, then your Ethernet inerface has not been initialized.
Try executing the 'ifconfig se0' that in /etc/rc.local and then trying to rlogin.
