<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>The laptop hosting SIMH is connected via

What is your exact configuration?</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hiya,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> I'm one of those unfortunate
souls who doesn't have a domain name of their own. I'm operating behind
a home router, which is in turn hooked somehow to Verizon, and so it
goes.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> The problem I am having is
with getting a TCP/IP package to work. I've tried using the one
supplied on the VMS hobbyist kit, and though it configures just fine it proves
troublesome in areas which even the emulated OpenBSD system did right.
The main problem centers around my nonexistent domain name.
</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> I use dyndns.org to
essentially give me a fake DNS record in most domain name servers.
Doesn't hold up well under reverse DNS lookup, but still. When I try to
configure TCP/IP from the hobbyist kit, everything appears to work fine except
for the IVP. That returns the following:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>%system-f-logname, no logical name match. I
don't have any idea what logical name its looking for. The SMTP server,
similarly, refuses to accept incoming messages for seemingly the same
reason.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> As I said, OpenBSD, also
running on the same emulated VAX, with the same Delqa emulation and such
configured, works. I don't know why. I'm not a particularly
experienced OpenVMS user. Thought that switching to something like
Multinet might help the situation, but Process Software's FTP site seems
conveniently down...</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Any help at all on this situation would be
greatly appreciated.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Yours,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Zack.</FONT></DIV>
