- Just a guess...
-
- You didn't mention what transport you are trying to use.
- The default transport for the VMS SET DISPLAY command is
- usually DECNET, and unless your Iris is running Decnet
- the connection will be refused. [To see the transport
- method, type SHOW DISPLAY].
-
- If you have Multinet or UCX or some other TCPIP running on
- your VAX, you can try:
- SET DISPLAY/CREATE/NODE=.../TRANSPORT=TCPIP
- Your DECWindows installation may also have to be configured to
- support this transport method.
