Box is running openvms 7.1 and UCX 4.2 . I have an ethernet wire from box to the cable company modem. I read that all I had to do was to configure TCP/IP to DHCP? If true, how do I that? If not? What is required instead? Thanks AFBarghouty

To configure TCP/IP on VMS, you use the commandfile SYS$STARTUP:UCX$CONFIG.COM $ @sys$startup:ucx$config Option 1 is used to set IP-adress, Default Gateway,.......

I am not assigned an IP address. Does UCX 4.2 support DHCP? If so in what sub menu? I could not find it! Thanks.

I'm not sure if UCX v4.* supports DHCP. It was a looooooong time ago I worked with v4.* If it was supported..... you enable DHCP under "Core Environment (1)" and "Interfaces (2)". This is what the menu looks like in v5.3 WE0 is the Ethernet device EWA0: WE0 has not been configured Compaq TCP/IP Services for OpenVMS Interface WE0 Configuration Menu Configuration options: 1 - Configure interface manually 2 - Let DHCP configure interface [E] - Exit menu (Do not configure interface WE0) Enter configuration option:
