- The problem is that some other node on your network is using the same DECnet
- address as you're using. Here's how to verify that:
-
- 1. Power your node off
- 2. $MCR NCP TELL node SHOW EXEC
-
- It should come back and say "remote node is not currently reachable." Any other
- message indicates another node on this address.
