<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">I have tried this with Winpcap v3 and the new beta 4. When SIMH boots, it shows that the ethernet connection has "attached" to \Device\NPF_{B7E311C4-A4EE-4D0E-858D-7AA7C970175C}, every time - this is the Vmware adapter. I have tried using the default "dummy" mac address supplied with vax.ini, but that didn't work either.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Any suggestions how I can force it to attach to the device I want ONLY?</FONT>
