I have freeAXP 3.0.0.620 installed via freeaspsetup_620a

I want to network from VMS to Windows 10 so I can use XFree. But I have had no luck getting to the point where I can ping VMS from the Window command prompt.

The freeAXP emulator seems to work fine.

I am trying to follow instructions from a coworker who got if working.

I created a Hyper-V Virtual Etherenet Adapter and named it FREEEAXP. He had me set a specific IP address:

address XXX.XX.X.210
subnet 255.255.255.0
gatwway XXX.XXX.X.1

The XXX.XXX.X part is the same as on the VMS emulation.

In my virtual alpha configuration, I have the pci11 Nic interface defined as vEthernet(FREEAXP). pci12 is a dummy. Both NICs are type DE435

The virtual alpha configuration based on the one he sent me. All I did was change it from disk D: to disk C: so it would run on the disk in my PC. And, I re-selected the FREEAXP adapter as part of setting it up.

I can ping XXX.XX.X.210 from the Windows command prompt. But I cannot ping XXX.XX.X.51 which is the network address of the virtual Alpha.

On the virtual Alpha, I can pink it's network address XXX.XX.X.51

My coworker and I stumped, he has tried to help me troubleshoot via email.

I have also tried some other approaches networking and nothing works.

My PC has wireless and wired ethernet. The wired one has no cable since I use wireless to communicate with my house router.

I have also tried some approaches on another Windows 10 box that I have at home and no luck there either. Both these are HP 700 series machines. (I have not tried the HYPER-V approach on the other Windows 10 box)

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I also have a Windows 7 laptop, but I have not experimented freeAXP there,

I had various issues with networking and FreeAXP that I couldn't pin down.

In the end I run it from a Citrix Xen virtual machine. That way connections are always via ethernet from another machine. That is working for ftp, telnet, decnet etc.

The emulated machine is designed to have a VAX based, diskless clustered node but I have yet to get that working between SIMH and FreeAXP.

Best of luck, Mark.

No more VAX hobbyist licenses. Community licenses for Alpha/IA64/X86_64 VMS Software Inc. Commercial VMS software licenses for VAX available from HPE.

Just re-visiting.. No more hobbyist licenses? Is that from vmssoftware.com, no 'community' licenses?

I recall that the disks failed on the public access VMS systems that included Fafner

Anyone know what happened to FAFNER.DYNDS.ORG? I had a hobbyist account here but can longer access the site.

At one time, didn't this web site have a job board? I would love to use my legacy skills one last time in my career.

Eisner, which is currently being moved, got an SSH update and the keys were updated to more modern encryption standards.
