Check out the documentation for either DIGITAL/HP TCP-IP services (UCX) or (better) MultiNet or TCPware from Process Software. It took me a bit of back and forth to figure out the MultiNet/TCPware difference, so here it is: MultiNet is configured in a more "VMS-ish" manner, whereas TCPWare is much more UNIX-y. Pick the one you're more comfortable with.
VMS predates large-scale acceptance of TCP/IP and so the TCP/IP stack and associated software are a layered product that must be installed.
Ah, well it looks like I'll have to grab TCPWare instead, then.
Note if you have a VAX box or emulated VAX the DEC TCP/IP services is very probably a very buggy version, at least in Hobbyist 2.0. Don't bother with it.
I haven't worked with Hobbyist-VAX 3.0, so don't know if that changed. Supposedly the last VAX release of TCP/IP services was redone to be much more efficient/fast/etc., but it isn't on any of the hobbyist media, nor does HP have it available for download, so if you're lucky enough to have a friend in the biz you might be able to try it out. The rest of us use Process stuff - which is pretty good.
-- just looked again at the forum, you're not running VAX, but I'm not sure how the Alpha hobbyist versions compared. The HobbyistV3 version seemed OK, but not fantastic.

Actually, I should note (from what the good Hunter Goatley told me not long ago) that MultiNet's interfaces are based on TOPS-20-style interfaces. So, it's still founded on a ‘DEC OS’ and in that sense still more VMS-styled than the DEC UCX, or HP TCP/IP Services as it's called nowadays.

I've used both TCPware and MultiNet, and I prefer the MultiNet interface slightly over TCPware. As has been noted above, both are light years ahead of UCX or TCP/IP Services for flexibility and functionality.
There's also the free HGFTP, which runs under all the stacks. The current release has support for ODS-5 disks, which is something I've never gotten around to announcing.
malmberg March 24 2018 Probably. More people hang out on the comp.os.vms newsgroup.
vaxpert March 23 2018 I have a PE42A and other Alpha system stuff for sale. I'm in So California. Any interest out there?
goodbyespy February 27 2018 To Prohorenko. Please, visit group OpenVMS in the ok.ru
peteherrera February 24 2018 How much does it cost to buy a complete OpenVMS hardcopy documentation set of the latest version
prohorenko February 17 2018 Please help to obtain the license on OpenVMS
malmberg December 12 2017 HPE only makes the most current version of OpenVMS Alpha / IA64 /VAX available to hobbyists. When I had access to the Alliance 1 program it was the same. No public downloads are allowed by HPE.
nmbonao December 08 2017 Is anybody knows OpenVMS 8.2 version downloadable version? or CD copy? Thank you very much

malmberg September 10 2017 https://sourceforge.net/p /vms-ports/wiki/VMSInstal lation/ For the most part just use VMS 6.1 media instead of 7.3. But why run the older release?
DoeveR August 07 2017 Where can I find the write up on running VMS 6.1 using the simh emulator?
Bart March 20 2017 Happy to have found my password again!
peteherrera March 04 2017 It would be nice to be able to buy the lastest hardcopy full OpenVMS docset at a very reduced price through the Hobbyist program.
