[Info-vax] Update to TCP/IP problem with Alpha VMS 8.4

[vmsmangler at earthlink.net]

I am really embarassed about my original post. I know I should have
provided a great deal more information. Since I have been working with
and using VMS since 5.4 I know how important it is to have complete
information. So, here goes.

The Alphaserver DS20 has 1 GB memory, 1 cpu, and a mylex raid
controller. DRA0 is the VMS 7.3.2 system disk, DRA1 is a spare disk,
and DRA2 is a 3 member RAID 5 device with a spare drive.

The Apple iMac G5 is a Power Mac with 1 GB memory.

Both systems have a hosts file, TCPIP$HOST.DAT on the DS20 and etc/
hosts on the iMac. Here is the contents of that file and is the same
for both systems.

10.1.1.1 cougar Cougar COUGAR
10.1.1.3 imacg5 Imacg5 IMACG5
10.1.1.10 printserver Printserver PRINTSERVER

Both systems and the Printserve are connected to a 5 port network
switch. 2 printers are attached to the Printserver, a laserjet and an
inkjet.
Both systems can print to both printers and can also ping each other
and the Printserver.

To prepare for the 8.4 upgrade I did an image backup from DRA0: to
DRA1:. I also did an image backup of DRA0: to mag tape.
The intent is to Upgrade DRA0: from 7.3-2 to 8.4.

This will be fairly long so I am going to break it down into several
smaller posts.

Again, my apologies to everyone who replied.
