If you are privileged enough, SMAC can set the MAC address on Windows. Google "smac
change mac address".
Not that it helps much, unless you manage to push it down in the WiFi
network card properly.
Changing the MAC address to the DECNET address does make it a bit trickier to
start up DECNET though.
Uh? Why? Changing the MAC address to the DECnet address is essentially
required for DECnet to work. Meaning not changing it will make starting
DECnet hard...

I turned off DECNET to eliminate one source of possible trouble. It
would be nice to have it on at some point in the future.
As I suggested, without DECnet, you should probably get success with a NAT
connection using either a wired or a wireless host network. DECnet over
wireless probably isn't going to be achievable since many WiFi environments are
particularly IP centric and don't pass arbitrary other packets, and even if
they did, you would have to convince the host NIC to use a DECnet MAC address
for everything. There probably isn't a way to set the host network device's
MAC address so that won't get you there.

The vms systems on our campus are about to be shut down. My former

He is a networking expert and I am no slouch, but neither of us can
figure out why we cannot establish any kind of network connection
outside of the simh.
I've looked back in the archives for help but have only found
people with linux systems or messages of success with UCX.
This morning I upgraded from Multinet 4.3 to 5.2 and tried to set
up DHCP but that did not work either.
Npcap is installed.
If I set my mac address to be the same as that of the host laptop I
can use wireshark to see pings coming out from the vax but there
are no responses.
I've disabled decnet from starting up to avoid the mac address from
being changed.
Some guidance in the right direction would be greatly appreciated.
First: Learn to walk before you run. Meaning, get things working
with a wired network connection BEFORE you try to use a wireless solution.
Second: It seems that you might be using a somewhat recent version
of simh since you've got a SHOW ETHERNET command, but it would be
useful to see the output of a SHOW VERSION command. The latest
Windows binaries are available at:
https://github.com/simh/Win32-Development-Binaries
Third: Since you've disabled DECnet, that might mean that all you
care about is IP so, you may be able to achieve that both wired and
wirelessly if you use a NAT: attachment for your XQ device.
