Hi Phil
not used linux for emulated vax/alpha myself but there are some things you
need to set up for the emulator so that you have raw/promiscuous access to
the assigned NIC's at non-root level. Info here and in their UG's might
point you in the right direction: http://www.emuvm.com/faq.php#tag37
I have run both simH and various alpha emulators on VMware, HyperV and
windows and not had issues connecting, but then the emulators have always
been assigned seperate NIC's (real/emulated) with raw mode, currently have
a 2-node AXP running in a win10 VM with shared storage etc. You may/not
need to assign a MAC to the assigned NIC, tho that can also create issues,
where it'll work first boot and then a reboot later it doesn't, so I
typically do not do this.

I was going to ask about how to get past that. I do have 7 network
connections in this pc so the host and the vax are not on the same

mentioned in the past. It is not uncommon for the host system to not be
able to communicate with the virtual machine, as the outgoing ethernet
packets are not been received. A switch will normally not help you, as
both hosts are on the same ethernet cable, and switches do not reflect
packets back on the port they come from. Routers might be more clever,
but it's not a given. But basically, your problem have a high chance of
being a problem of being able to communicate between two machines that
use the same physical ethernet interface.
