Dear Managers:
I am trying to install DECNET on our Alpha 3000/400 running OSF/1 3.0.
I am not much of a DECNET expert. I was able to get it up and running
on our DEC MIPS WS(PHASE IV) so we could communicate with our sole Microvax.
So now I am trying to install PHASE V our on Alpha workstation.
Anyways, as you will see, the installation failed. We do not have a DNS
server at our university, which has many machines running DECNET PHASE IV
but not PHASE V. I have a DECNET installation and configuration manual
but it hasn't helped me yet. Here is the script file of the attempted
install.
Script started on Fri Feb 24 14:03:02 1995
# /usr/sbin/decnetsetup basic
Nodename: nucaxp:.wustl.edu
Node Synonym: edu
Phase IV Address: 1.177
Phase IV Prefix: 49::
Network Devices: ln0
This system will autoconfigure addresses.
This system will be a DTSS clerk.
This system will be a DNS clerk in the nucaxp namespace.
Do you wish to complete this DECnet/OSI configuration? [continue]

What is the network address of the server? [No Default] 1.10

Getting server data, please wait...
Could not get information from server. Both Phase IV and Phase V
connection attempts failed. Use the following information to help correct
the problem.
Could not connect to remote Phase V server
Could not connect to remote Phase IV server:

Unable to contact remote DNS server.
decnetsetup terminated.

Any help is appreciated. 1.10 is our DECnet router for our subnet not a
DNS server.
Thanks!!!
