This does explain the 'on-synchronizing' state of the DECnet circuit. But WHY can't the interface send any packets ?

Let me repeat my question: a new installation of VSI OpenVMS V8.4-2L1 does work ? Please confirm.

Is SYS$EIDRIVER the SAME version/link date in both cases ?

Does LANCP> SHOW DEV/COUNT/INTERNAL  EIA0  provide any additional information ? Please consider to compare the output of this command for the working and failing case.

How about SDA> SHOW LAN/DEV=EIA 
and
SDA> LAN TRACE/DEVICE=EIA

I wouldn't expect TCPIP to work over this LAN interface, if the driver can't send any packets at all !
