tcpip$inet_host

robert70 — Fri, 09 Mar 2012 11:20:04 GMT

Have an Alpha system and an Integrity system RX2800 - both are configured with IP addresses and can telnet ftp to both no problem - why is the integrity not showing anything in its TCPIP$INET logicals? Do i need to configure something further?

Alpha - HP TCP/IP Services for OpenVMS Alpha Version V5.6 - ECO 5
on a COMPAQ AlphaServer DS20E 666 MHz running OpenVMS V8.3

what about the output of the following command on Integrity side ?

$ Show Network

$ show network

So It seems that your TCP/Ip Stack is not configured or/and it is not yet started on Integrity side.

Are you sure that you are referencing to the correct system on your network via Ip ?

To check if the interfaces of your Integrity server are correctly configured :

$ TCPIP sho conf interf ! Info from Permanent Database

then

$ ifconfig -a ! Info from Volatile database

Please, post the output of the above commands.

You need to define tcpip symbols before to use the "Unix style commands":

$ @sys$manager:tcpip$define_commands

$ ifconfig -a

please, post also the ouptut of :

$ tcpip sho conf comm

Basing on your output it results :

Local host: eddy.ho.test.uk.test

Domain: test

It should be, for example :

Local host: eddy

Domain: acme.com

Try this procedure (If there isn't a text formatting error in your post) :

$ tcpip set conf comm /Domain=acme.com /Local=eddy

$ tcpip set comm /Domain=acme.com /Local=eddy

then restart your ip stack

$ @sys$startup:tcpip$shutdown

$ @sys$startup:tcpip$startup

many thanks for your help

Domain "acme.com" was reported in my post only as example.

in case, setup the domain name more appropriate for your site.

Best regards,
