Installing pathworks on the server alone is not enough.   K Is wrong.  You only need to install PATHWORKS software on the client if you K plan to use client based licensing, a more complex scheme intended for more J complex environemtns, specifically when client PCs plan to access multipleK different OpenVMS Servers.  You've got one client and one server, lets keep G it simple and use server based licensing.  Do NOT configure the license < server, do NOT install any PATHWORKS software on the client.  G Next basic - You did a VMSINSTAL to install the server and hopefully an J @SYS$UPDATE:PWRK$CONFIG.COM to configure your file server, right?  At thatG time, hopefully you did things like give it a domain name, and also and F administrator password.  Then, hopefully you started the server, rightH (@SYS$STARTUP:PWRK$STARTUP.COM)?  Give it some time (a few minutes) thenL check to see if its started (@SYS$MANAGER:PWRK$SHOWSYS.COM), post the output here if you aren't sure.  H Assuming its running, then type ADMINISTER, and then LOGIN ADMINISTRATORH password  - Hopefully ther server validates your login.  This is the CLIJ tool you can use to define users, shares, printers, etc.  Also use this to- look at your running domain.  Check out HELP.   A OK, with this rudimentary stuff, have you gotten any further yet?      --
