[Simh] simH, OpenVMS, TCP-IP, Linux (Long)

[mark suhovecky]

I'm  trying to debug a TCP (or lack of TCP) problem I'm having running
OpenVMS undere SIMH on Linux.

I have a linux machine running Ubuntu 7.04. I've built & intstalled
simH, installed openVMS & my licenses; however, I'm not able to get
TCP working. Here's my details:

I built simH 3.73 (setting USE_NETWORK=1) * libpcap 0.9.8 using gcc
4.1  

I defined the ethernet card in my vax.ini file:

    ; Attach Ethernet to a network interface
    set xq mac=00-16-41-EB-52-F2
    attach xq eth0

On the OpenVMS side, I installed the UCX license, and
the TCP-IP kit, and configured the telnet & FTP clients
& servers. 

I run the simulator as root. The simulator gives me this line as
part of its output:

Eth: opened eth0

I also output in my kernel log telling me that the device eth0
has entered promiscuous mode.

On the openVMS side,  here's what I get at startup about TCP.
I don't expect proxy services- should these errors worry me?

I unable to telnet or ftp out of or into the machine. I don't know
if the problem's with my SimH or OpenVMS setup. Any debugging advice
is appreciated.

Thanks,

Mark
