The Question is: Further to the Answer on the Question on "(6704) Configure DECnet on Network Controller? ". I have tried re-run NETCONFIG.COM However NETCONFIG.COM (at least with v7.1-2 of OpenVMS) would only configure Decnet on EWA-0 and would not configure it on EWB-0. I treied edit NETCONFIG.COM to use EWB-0 and it still end up with the same problem. At the moment, I end up using EWB-0 for UCX only and leave Decnet on EWA-0. I would apprecitate any help to move Decnet to EWB-0 as well. I would prefer to stay with DECnet Phase IV. One question is: would upgrading to OpenVMS v7.2 or v7.3 helps? The Answer is : Due to network addressing requirements, DECnet Phase IV permits one connection to an unbridged, unrouted network segment. When multiple connections are present, DECnet Phase IV end-node hosts can operate on only one network controller at a time and must be manually switched to other controllers as required. DECnet Phase IV routing is available on OpenVMS VAX only. DECnet Phase IV routers can operate across multiple controllers, again assuming that no two network controllers are connected to the same network segement. If you attempt to connect multiple controllers to the same network segment on a DECnet Phase IV host, you will receive an "IVADDR, invalid media address" error upon starting the second and subsequent controllers connected to the same segment. DECnet-Plus permits multiple connections to the same network segment, and permits multiple active circuits on an end-node, and (with recent versions) does provide for host-based routing.
