[Simh] Ethernet connection problems

[Priya Chincholikar]

Hi,

I'm installing SIMH on RedHat VM. I seem to have Ethernet connection
problems.

;
; Load CPU microcode
load -r /usr/local/vax/data/ka655x.bin
;
; Attach non-volatile RAM to a file
attach nvr /usr/local/vax/data/nvram.bin
;
; This virtual machine has 64M memory
set cpu 64m
;
; Define disk drive types. RA92 is largest-supported VAX drive.
set rq0 ra92
set rq1 rauser=10240
set rq2 rauser=10240
set rq3 cdrom
;
; Attach defined drives to local files
attach rq0 /mnt/simh-disks/d0.dsk
attach rq1 /mnt/simh-disks/d1.dsk
attach rq2 /mnt/simh-disks/d2.dsk
;
; Attach the CD-ROM to its file (read-only)
;attach -r rq3 /usr/local/vax/data/cd.iso
;
; Disable unused devices. It's also possible to disable individual devices,
; using a construction like "set rq2 disable" if desired.

set XQ type=DELQA
attach XQ eth0

;Uncomment the line below to enable auto-boot
;dep bdr 0
;
; Choose one of the following lines. SET CPU CONHALT returns control to the
; VAX console monitor on a halt event (where behavior will be further
; determined by whether auto-boot is set--see above. SET CPU SIMHALT will
; cause the simulator to get control instead.
set cpu conhalt
;set cpu simhalt
;
; Now start the emulator
boot cpu
;
;Exit the simulator
;exit
~

The steps I followed for installing of the emulator are:
$ wget   *https://github.com/simh/simh/archive/master.zip*<https://github.com/simh/simh/archive/master.zip>

$ unzip simh-master.zip
$ cd simh-master
 $ make vax
