It appears that, although I have the LICENSE for MOTIF V1.2-5, I don't actually have the software.

Bill,
Analyze: file marked for delete is not a big problem but may means your disk has some trouble. File in use cannot be delete, they are marked for delete and deleted on close. Your ANALYZE/DISK solved, but you still warn on your HD.
QUOTA.SYS means you haven't assigned disk quota to your user. It's the same on my system.

TCP/IP: it appear as incomplete installation. At first glance you have not defined interface. Running TCPIP$CONFIG, select core then interface. You have to see something like interface WE0, IP_addr: 192.168.1.18 NETWRK: 255.255.255.0, Broadcast:192.168.1.255
You can test for Installation. From TCPIP$CONFIG main menu choice Run Tests, then internet IVP.

After TCPIP startup type:
$ TCPIP SH SERVICE
and you can see detailed information of any service, for example Telnet
$ TCPIP SH SERVICE TELNET /FULL

My question "Why you post ..." is just a joke to say "Don't worry!"; sorry for my fun english.

This looks like a good place to start. I will do your suggestions and show the output here.

--- START OF COPIED DATA FROM TERMINAL ---

@sys$startup:TCPIP:STARTUP

when I typed
tcpip sh service
EVERYTHING has an Address of 0.0.0 and
everything has a state of Disabled.

Hi Bill,
ancient greek Kaos stands in your system :-)
From log of your post, I understand you have activated all tcp/ip services without configure them. For example NOSUCHNODE seems an LPD/LPR message and MOUNT is NFS error.

I think you have to simplify your trouble then you can solve one problem for time.
So
From your post of Aug 15, 2005 12:09:59 GMT, I understand TCP/IP is installed on system. Run config, disabel all services, configure core environment and startup tcp/ip.
$ @SYS$MANAGER:TCPIP$CONFIG
5 - Shutdown TCP/IP
6 - Test component
1 - Internet IVP
3 - Server component
...disable all services
2 - Client component
...disable all services
1 - Core environment
2- Interface configure interface
Now you can startup tcp/ip core
6 - Startup TCP/IP service

After this operations you are sure tcp/ip core is running.
Post result of above process, then we can continue with next step.

[Bill Thompson_8]

@SYS$MANAGER:TCPIP$CONFIG
configuration options
5- Shutdown DIGITAL TCP/IP Services for OPENVMS

Begin Shutdown...

TCPIP$FTP shutdown complete
%TCPIP-E-INTETERROR, internet interface error
-SYSTEM-F-DEVINACT, device inactive

The following Internet devices are still active
on your system:

BG1

Before restarting the Internet software you
should stop the process associated with the
above BGdevices. To locate these processes,
issue the DCL command SHOW DEVICE BGn/Full

--------
ok, this is taking a momentary detour from your
instructions but, once again, I am going to try
to fix this.

I will return to your steps shortly.
--------

When I typed...
$ SHOW DEVICE BG1/FULL
I got these results:

Device BG1, device type unknown, is online, mounted, record-oriented
device, network device, mailbox device,
Error count 0
Owner process "TCPIP$INET_ACP"
Owner process ID 00000030
Reference count 1
Operatinos completed 0
Owner UIC [system]
Dev Prot S:RWL, O:RWPL, G:RWPL, W:RWPL
Default buffer size 256


When I typed...
$ stop TCPIP$INET_ACP
I got this result:

%SYSTEM-F-NODELETE, object cannot be deleted

--------
ok, this is the end of my momentary detour from your
instructions.
--------

Continuing your instructions, the next step is
6 - Test component

On my OpenVMS 7.2-1 that is option 7

Then:

1 - Internet IVP

Output:

Begin IVP...

%%% TCPIP IVP: STARTED %%%

%%% TCPIP IVP: error -- TCPIP Device Assign %%%
% SYSTEM-W-NOSUCHDEV, no such device available
IVP requewst completed



3 - Server component
...disable all services
2 - Client component
...disable all services


1 - Core environment

The options here are:
1 - BIND Resolver
2 - Domain
3 - Routing
4 - Interfaces
5 - Time Zone
A - Congigure Option 1-5

Enter configuration option: 4

Interface Configuration *Not Confugured*

Now, I am stuck.
What do I do now?

2- Interface configure interface
Now you can startup tcp/ip core
6 - Startup TCP/IP service

[Antoniov.]

Bill,
interface not configured.
At momentt, this is the main trouble for your tcp/ip software.
What do you have to do?
Depend by what do you want.
If this host is in a LAN, you have to astk to network administrator for ip address and other parameters.
Suppose, at moment, this is not important becuase you want statup tcp/ip just for testing.
Configure interface manually.
Enter a name of your host like "lonehost"
Internet address like 192.168.59.59 (I bet no any host used it!)
Internet network mask: 255.255.255.0
Broadcast address: 192.168.59.255
Then start tcp/ip
Above configuration is just for a testing. Toy can't work in network.
