557.0. "Socket error 0" by CSC32::T_NORWOOD () Fri Apr 07 1989 13:46

    Please excuse my ignorance of TCP/IP before I begin.  If I am not using
    the correct terminology, let me know. 
    
    I am working with a customer who is running Multinet TCP/IP on a
    MicroVAX II, running VMS V5.1.  He has been running this product
    successfully with VMS versions up to and including V5.1, and in
    conjunction with the VWS workstation software.  Since installing
    DECwindows, when he tries to start up his TCP/IP, he gets "socket 
    error 0". 
    
    Is DECwindows using a socket it shouldn't?  This customer believes we
    are violating some previously-agreed-upon rules.  Any comments? 
    
    
    Thanks,
    Tom

    The DECwindows he has cannot be using TCP/IP and cannot have any
    knowledge of IP sockets.  He's simply done something unfortunate like
    start his IP software before DECnet.

557.2VMS 5.1 doesn't know from TCP/IPCSC32::G_JOHNSONJust a nickle's worth of dreamsFri Apr 07 1989 15:546
    To the best of my knowledge, the current rev (SDC) of DW (VMS) does
    NOT know from TCP/IP, but rather only uses decnet and/or shared
    memory transport mechanisms.  This changes in V2 of DW, yes?

    re .2:  It should be in V2.  It's made it through Phase 0 and it's
    coming down the stretch.
