The Question is: I need to regularly send files from VMS to WinNT 4.0 machine via DECnet (by VMS COPY command). NT machine has Pathworks32 7.2 client, DECnet installed. VMS machine has DECnet Phase IV, it is NOT running Pathworks server but I think it's irrelevant. I defi ned DECnet name and address of NT machine in VMS's NCP node database and vice versa. I also defined object 17 (FAL) on NT machine. I've checked that Job Spawner service is started automatically. I've set up access rights on NT node(NCP DEFINE ACCESS DEFAULT ALL). However, every time I try to do "$ COPY FILE.TXT NTNODE::" , I get the message: "-SYSTEM-F-UNREACHABLE, remote node is not currently reachable" To test DECnet on NT, I ran NFT and eXcursion via DECnet and connected to this VMS node, everything worked perfectly. I can also do NCP LOOP NODE from NT machine to VMS (but not vice versa), it's also fine. I also tried "User Manager" on that NT node to enable even more access to this machine. I went "Policies" -> "User Rights" menu, enabled checkbox "Show advanced user rights" and modified firstly "Access this computer from network", then "Log on as batch job" - in both cases I added "Everyone" to the list of allowed users and groups. The error message remains same. What's wrong? Why NT remains unreachable from VMS while VMS is perfectly reachable from NT? I need this file copy to be started from VMS side... The Answer is : This might be as simple as having DEFINEd the client system DECnet nodename in NCP, but has not SET it and has not rebooted since the name was DEFINEd. Consider using an NCP LOOP NODE nn.nnn command from OpenVMS to the target system. Failing this, please contact the Compaq Customer Support Center, as additional investigations and additional details will be required.
