I am rapidly losing whatever hair I have left trying to get a dmr-11 point-to-point TCP/IP link set up between two VAX 750's running across town. The basic problem is that even after what looks like a successful invocation of ifconfig, "netstat -i" reveals no packets being sent. BTW, one host is running 4.3 beta, the other Ultrix 1.2 beta. Briefly, the sequence I'm using is: /etc/ifconfig dmc0 inet myaddr destaddr A subsequent /etc/ifconfig dmc0 reveals dmc0: myaddr --> destaddr netmask ff000000 flags=51<UP,POINTOPOINT,RUNNING> "Netstat -r" demonstrates that a route has been entered of the form: Routing tables Destination Gateway Flags Refcnt Use Interface destaddr myaddr UH 0 33 dmc0 localnetname myaddr-ether U 4 932 de0 loopback-net localhost U 1 9 lo0 However, a "telnet destaddr" (or any other operation which would cause IP packets to be sent to destaddr) does not produce any packets sent through the dmr, at least if "netstat -i" is to be believed. Straight zeroes all the way across. Am I forgetting something? Thanks for any clues you might provide. -- /Steve Dyer dyer@harvard.harvard.edu harvard!dyer
