Another thing: make sure DECNET is started early in the boot, prior to
TCPIP services and LAT. DECNET changes the ethernet address of the

Upon further review.....here are the answers to questions asked:

Users log on through network using Reflections
Reflections 1st choice is telnet



$ show license dvnetend

Active licenses on node ASKNT2:

------- Product ID -------- ---- Rating ----- -- Version --
Product Producer Units Avail Activ Version Release

$ show network decnet
%NETWRK-E-NOAVAILABLE, network service information is unavailable at
this time
$ mc ncp show known nodes

Now, having looked at a gazillion FAQ's and then some, I started
asking the users of this system questions. It
appears it's been a couple of years or so that this has been going on.
Sorry, I inherited this, and was unaware.
Looking at systartup_vms (on node A - VAX), LAT$STARTUP.COM is
commented out. TCPIP is not started at all either. the only thing I
see is an MC LATCP SET NODE/CONN=BOTH. On the other node in the
cluster (node B - Alpha), in systartup_vms we do execute STARTNET,
then LAT$STARTUP as well. LAT$SYSTARTUP executes, with all defaults,
and (lcp set node, lcp create service, and lcp set node /stae=on)
without p1-p5 set, and no TCPIP.com files executed here as well. Oh,
there is in systartup_vms.com on node B, "DEFE DECW$IGNORE_DECNET
TRUE",
Obviously, this is deliberate, but can someone explain the reason? Is
it indicative of somthing particulary (sane or insane)? Oh, there is
in systartup_vms.com on node B, "DEFE DECW$IGNORE_DECNET TRUE". It
seems this applies to DECWindows, or Motif that correct (not
applicable here)?
If I execute the lat$startup in systartup_vms.com on both nodes will
it allow users to log directly on to that system (A)?

The learning curve looks quite steep here. It doesn't help the ego
when one looks at the HP Docs and sees 18 manuals to peruse for
starters!

Thanks all for the help / suggestions.
Dan
