Larson (larson@csd460a.erim.org) Well, I can't do it all yet, but we run Wollongong TCP/IP and the proper syntax for us is: $ set display/create/transport=WINTCP/node=IPaddress ^^^^^^ ^^^^^^^^^ $ run sys$system:decw$application So, this is based on there's a file called decw$transport_wintcp.exe in our sys$library directory. You probably have one specifically for your multinet configuration somewhere or perhaps can use the generic TCPIP one. Someone who knows about Multinet will have to help you with this part... Anyway, this file is INSTALLED /open/shared/header/prot (you can look -- there are probably others already installed on your system). It doesn't work if it's not installed. As a matter of fact, it gives the same error you mentioned above. Otherwise, this is what works for me. You shouldn't need to do anything with NCP. Hope this helps you! Good luck!
