After several days, at last, by issuing "telnet 192.168.1.200" (simh/Vax OVMS) I got success. Just right now!!
OVMS box has its IP 192.168.1.200, and seems to be working ok.
Telnet'ing 192.168.1.200, I get (finally) my "welcome" OpenVMS Vax screen, but no Internet connection.
though ping´ng (e.g.) www.openvmshobbyist.org, returns me its IP 72.64.118.245, but 100% packet loss.
Any hint, pls?
TIA

Have you set up a default router? Use SYS$MANAGER:TCPIP$CONFIG.COM to setup a default route. It should be under base configuration.

No success...maybe there is a mess in my config.
I have
WinXP env.
Lan=192.168.254.0/Gateway=192.168.254.254
Eth0=192.168.254.100; TAP-Win32=192.168.1.100

under simh/vax env.
QE0(Eth0)=192.168.254.200 and QE1(Tap-Win32)=192.168.1.200
Telnet´ng 192.168.1.200 from 192.168.254.100 works good. Ping´ng from each other, works good, too. But from vax box cannot ping out from my lan.
I took some reading and try config routing.

What can be going wrong?

Can you ping the gateway (192.168.254.254)? Can you display the routing table in simh ($ TCPIP SHOW ROUTE)?

Marx,

Type Destination Gateway

AN 0.0.0.0 192.168.254.254
AH 127.0.0.1 127.0.0.1
AN 192.168.1.0/24 192.168.1.200
AN 192.168.1.0/24 192.168.254.255
AH 192.168.1.200 192.168.254.254
AH 192.168.1.200 192.168.1.200
AN 192.168.254.0/24 192.168.254.200
AN 192.168.254.0/24 192.168.1.200
AH 192.168.254.200 192.168.254.200




Clean up your routing table. It should contain only:

- a host entry (AH) for localhost: Dest 127.0.0.1, Gate 127.0.0.1
- two host entries for the VAX for each of the interfaces:
Dest 192.168.254.200, Gate 192.168.254.200
Dest 192.168.1.200, Gate 192.168.1.200
- two network entries (AN) for each of the two networks, pointing to the respective interface:
Dest 192.168.254.0/24, Gate 192.168.254.200
Dest 192.168.1.0/24, Gate 192.168.1.200
- a default route entry that points to the router:
Dest 0.0.0.0, Gate 192.168.254.254

All of these except the default route entry get set up automatically at TCP/IP startup. So, looking at the permanent routing table:

Type Destination Gateway

PN 0.0.0.0 192.168.254.254
PN 192.168.1.0 192.168.254.255
PH 192.168.1.200 192.168.254.254
PN 192.168.254.0 192.168.1.200




Remove the host entry for 192.168.1.200 and the network entries for 192.168.1.0 and 192.168.254.0, and restart TCP/IP.

Good luck,

Martin

hi.
The steps I did:

stop routing
set noroute destination
sh route {showing me just two entries}
set route ipdest /gate=...
set route ipdest /gate=.../network
sh route {showing me like you told me }

done step by step, to get each entry correctly in config.
no success. all deleted entries remained in routing table, after rebooting
after that...I tried:

route delete -net ipdest and
route delete -host ipdest
sh route { two entries was shown}

after rebooting...failed again...
I didnt find a way to delete permanently the entries I dont need.

tks nway
I´ll keep trying.

Then you should probably get out the big hammer smiley

- Stop TCP/IP
- Delete (or rename) SYS$SYSTEM:TCPIP$ROUTE.DAT
- Set the default route via SYS$MANAGER:TCPIP$CONFIG.COM (Options 1 - Core, 3 - Routing)
- Start TCP/IP

You should see only the routing entries I mentioned.

cu,
Martin

You shouldn't have to add routes manually except for the default route. When you bring up an interface, a routing entry should be added automatically for the network on that interface. If you have manually added routes, that may be the cause of your doubled entries.
