Ive deleted a network interface (WE0) from the system. When i go to SHOW INTERFACE i get only LO0. Ive tried to get it back using Define however I get the following error message %TCPIP-E-CONFIGERROR, error processing cnfiguration request -RMS-F-DUP, duplicate key detected (DUP not set) When i go to TCPIP>SHOW CONFIGURATION INTERFACE It lists LO0 and WE0 with the network settings. Is there any way to recover the interface with those settings.

There is a volatile and a permanent database. You probably have modified the volatile database and are looking at the configuration settings of the permanent database. To modify the permanent database use : TCPIP> set configuration interface ... To modify the volatile database use : TCPIP> set interface ... See also the doc : http://h71000.www7.hp.com/doc/73final/6527/6527pro_contents.html Btw easiest way to modify TCPIP is with the menu : $ @SYS$MANAGER:TCPIP$CONFIG

I tried TCPIP>set configuration _internet device: WE0 then the following error message %TCPIP-E-INVINTER, error defining interface : WE0 -TCPIP-I-ACPQIO, failure on internet ACP QIO -SYSTEM-W-NOSUCHDEVICE, no such device available -SYSTEM-W-NOSUCHDEVICE, no such device available it does show the interface in TCPIP> show configuration interface

What happens when you use the menu ?

when using menu $ @SYS$MANAGER:TCPIP$CONFIG and going to shutdown tcpip services i get the following %PURGE-W-SEARCHFAIL, error searching for sys$sysdevice:[TCPIP$FINGER] -RMS-E-DNF, directory not found -SYSTEM-W-NOSUCHFILE %TCPIP-E-INET ERROR, internet interface error -SYSTEM-F-DEVINACT, device inactive The following internet device still active on your system BG27:
