LOG OPERATOR + ENA (enable) is what gives permissions. That
should be OK.<br>
<br>
Does spear report any errors from DECnet?<br>
<br>
Have your tried to use NCP to enable console logging? That should
produce the DECnet events.<br>
<br>
I'd want to login, run NETCON manually with DDT to see what it's
complaining about.<br>
<br>
But first, the other symptom. Only one end sending; no response
to START. That's wierd, and nothing will work until it's fixed.
If the line is on for both systems, they <b>both</b> should be
sending STARTs, until one (or both) sends a STACK. Then the other
sends ACK, and the link is up.<br>
<br>
So back to your code. On the end that's not sending anything:
are the line and circuit ON? Are you seeing buffers queued? Is
the data arriving and being delivered? What's different in its
.INI file? How are you specifying the TCP (or UDP) socket
destinations/port numbers? Are both ends opening successfully?<br>
<br>
A trace would help. Or maybe I should try running your code...<br>

<pre wrap="">The disks are cloned but I modified 4-1-config.cmd to change the node name
and number. That is all I did. So in one I have the line
NODE TOPS20 25

I don't know much about how NETCON would get its permissions, it is being
started from SYSJOB.RUN, this is what I have in that file after following
the instructions in the manual I was following:
RUN SYS:ORION
RUN SYS:QUASAR
RUN SYS:MOUNTR
RUN SYS:INFO
RUN SYS:MAILER
RUN SYS:MAPPER
RUN SYS:LPTSPL
RUN SYS:LPTSPL
RUN SYS:CDRIVE
RUN SYS:SPRINT
JOB 0 /LOG OPERATOR XX OPERATOR
ENA
^ESET LOGIN PSEUDO
^ESET LOGIN CONSOLE
^ESET OPERATOR
PTYCON
GET SYSTEM:PTYCON.ATO
/
JOB 1 /LOG OPERATOR XX OPERATOR
ENA
RUN SYS:BATCON
/
JOB 2 /LOG OPERATOR XX OPERATOR
ENA
RUN SYS:FAL
/
JOB 3 /LOG OPERATOR XX OPERATOR
ENA
RUN SYS:NETCON
/
Note that the manual used "\LOG" rather than "/LOG" but was contradictory on
this as in some places it was one and in others it was the other.
I tried a loopback test, which failed as per the attached log file.
One more data point. When I use UETP to verify the configuration I get these
errors in the log:
$TYPE EXCEPT.LOG.2

They suggest that the docs are not right, but nothing else.

<pre wrap="">owever, I still see one end repeatedly sending the first DDCMP message

Er, are you still running cloned systems? Make sure the node number and
name are different between the two.
As I wrote, I'd need to debug this, but it's possible that NETCON just
isn't graceful about this.
