Upgrade question - part 2

Ok, so now it's time to see what the network settings on the windows side are. Can you do a ipconfig /all from a command window on Windows? As the VMS machine is set to 10.1.1.20/255.0.0.0, the Windows machine should be set to 10.x.x.x/255.0.0.0 (where x.x.x is not 1.1.20) on the Network Bridge adapter.

Well it seems that Windows IP address is 10.1.1.5 but the Subnet mask set to 255.255.255.0 :

ucx sh interfaces gave:

LO0 127.0.0.1 255.0.0.0 0 0 4096
WE0 10.1.1.20 255.0.0.0 0 1 1500

So I guess I need to change the configuration in OpenVMS to 255.255.255.0 - would that be correct?

Correct.

Here is the modified set up:

$ sh network

Product: DECNET Node: A12345 Address(es): 1.1
Product: TCP/IP Node: freeaxp.com Address(es): 10.1.1.20

$ ucx sh interfaces

WE0 10.1.1.20 255.255.255.0 78 2 1500

Pinging 10.1.1.20 gave 'destination host unreachable' and Filezilla gave 'Could not connect to server', WS-FTP gave 'Connect failure'.

What next <img src='../images/smiley/smile.gif' alt='smiley'> ?

What's your gateway IP. Try pinging it from 10.1.1.20.

In making all these changes to my network configuration I discovered that I'd screwed up another virtual machine's set up and FTP ability plus my ability to connect to the internet via my normal ISP. So I have reversed all the changes and restored my original settings. I will forget about FTP on OpenVMS for the time being.

Thanks for your help.
