I've been trying to get networking working on FreeAXP for a few days now, following the User's Guide and this forum. All with no luck so far.
My configuration is as follows: Internet on the Windows host is provided by a WiFi dongle. There is an available Ethernet port, but no possibility to actually cable it anywhere. npcap is installed.
I've tried using npcap as FreeAXP's NIC, as well as Wifi directly, bridging the virtual and wifi networks, bridging the ethernet port and wifi, all both using static IP & letting OpenVMS configure itself via DHCP. In no case have I been able to get any ping outside the VMS box.
What is the procedure to get it working in this setup? Is there a way to set up networking easily, just as the new NAT interface does on SIMH?

MarkRLV September 17 2021 At one time, didn't this web site have a job board? I would love to use my legacy skills one last time in my career.
