Your second interface probably doesn't have an IP address assigned (under
windoze); annoyingly, libpcap doesn't return interfaces without addresses.
 
Be careful picking a subnet.

Alternatively, you don't actually need a dedicated interface.  I use OpenVPN
(just install the TAP adapter & bridge it to your primary ethernet card).
You don't need the whole OpenVPN package.  Don't forget to set the Media
Status of the TAP to Always Connected, and things just work.

Subject: [Simh] Network interfaces under Windows

I've had SimH for several months, running VAX (including ethernet
support) with OpenVMS installed.  (WinPcap is installed.)  I decided I
wanted to add a second network card so that I could telnet in from the same
computer to the OpenVMS system.  I had a Dynex DX-E102 available, so I stuck
it in the computer, but I don't see it as an available network interface
under SimH.  The primary network interface is an integrated NVIDIA nForce
10/100/1000.  To complicate matters, I have old VMware Player software
installed (version 1.0.2.xxxx) that allows me to run some necessary software
for a client.  The host computer is running Windows XP Professional x64
Edition.  Under SimH:
sim> show xq eth
ETH devices:
   0  \Device\NPF_{4EBEA91C-BB4D-4EB4-A3D0-D44914480A2F} (Local Area
Connection)
   1  \Device\NPF_{237514F4-8533-43C8-A69E-E94618353E5F} (VMware Network
Adapter VMnet8)
sim>
The Local Area Connection is the NVIDIA NIC.  Am I not able to additional
network interfaces because of VMware, or is the Dynex NIC not usable for
this, or is it something else altogether?

I realize this is a bit on the fringe for SimH discussion, but I haven't
been able to find anything that seems promising in my internet searches.
Thanks for any pointers you can provide.
