Hello Ed:

Phil Wherry's instructions (URL is in your other thread) include a 
section on installing and configuring TCPIP. I suggest you follow those 
instructions.

Once you install TCPIP, you have to configure it using the command 
someone else already wrote here.

It's not difficult. You just choose from the menu. As a minimum, you 
have to set up the "Core environment" (especially 2 - Interfaces). Here 
you have to know if you're using static IP addresses or if you want a 
DHCP server on your LAN to assign an IP address. Then, you have to do "6 
  -  Startup Compaq TCP/IP Services for OpenVMS".

At this point, you should be able to ping other systems on your network

$ TCPIP PING <IP address>

Once you can ping another host on your LAN, the rest is easy.

If you have a router connected to the Internet, then you will want to 
enter its IP address as the default gateway, and set up DNS servers. You 
do all this stuff through the TCPIP$CONFIG script.

Then go into clients and servers and turn on the services you need 
(TELNET, FTP, etc.).

Hope this helps.
