<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>
