I have two ethernet adapters in a VAX 4700 running VMS 5.5-2H4.
One of them, EZA0, is a 10Mb/s half duplex adapter and is working.
The other shows up as EWA0, and appears to be 100Mb/s full duplex. I'd
like to run TCP/IP traffic over the faster EWA0 interface.
The system startup shows this:

%STDRV-I-STARTUP, VMS startup begun at 27-APR-2007 21:59:46.76
Media Type is `100f' (Ethernet link speed is 100 Mbps, full duplex)
Clustering over Ethernet interface is disabled
PCI Device: Digital 21140A Fast Ethernet Chip
Loading EWDRIVER.EXE, connecting as EWA0
%EWA0, FastFD(Full Duplex 100baseTX) mode set by console
Ethernet Station Address is 00-06-2b-00-00-2b
Clustering inactive on EWA0
I set up the controller in Multinet as se1:

I can't seem to get that interface to work. I've disabled se0 (and
enabled se1, of course) in order to force all traffic over EWA0, but the
system won't do anything with it. The network switch shows the port as
not connected. (Yes, it is physically connected.) From the console

I don't know if I'm missing a vital step somewhere, or if something is
broken or misconfigured. Anyone have any ideas?
