The Question is: I recently picked up a DEC 3000 model 400 and set it up as a hobbyist system. It is running 7.1-1H2 and life is good with one exception. The console is getting flooded with the following message [an excerpt from the message]: Event: Carrier Check Failure from: Node LOCAL:.SHIVA CSMA-CD station CSMACD-0 From what I have been able to determine this is "network related" even though I don't have a network. I searched through the OpenVMS online documentation and did come across [essentially] MCR LATCP which gives me a "NOSUCHDEV, no such device" error. A show device e does list about nine esa devices. I used dejanews to look through comp.os.vms posts and the only thing I found was one post that suggested something along the lines of: $ mcr ncl ncl> BLOCK EVENT DISPATCHER OUTBOUND STREAM local_stream GLOBAL FILTER ((NODE,CSMA), Carrier Check Failure) Over the course of several weeks I have been unable to get this command to work. It always returns an error complaining about a missing left [or right] bracket. Although a REPLY/DISABLE=NETWORK stops the messages on the console I am getting ~3600 blocks in the operator log per day. As I am rather dense can you please enlighten me as to the cause of this message and the ncl error to block the [OPCOM] message. Thanks, Joe The Answer is : If the system is not configured on a valid local area network (LAN), either shut down the use of DECnet and other network protocols (eg: comment out the NET$STARTUP or START/NETWORK in your system startup), or reconfigure the system network hardware onto a valid LAN or with valid network termination. Also please see topic (3475) for information on DECnet-Plus NCL syntax for disabling a network controller from the current configuration. Related topics include (7105), (3500), (3516), (3632), and (4439).
