Check the speed and duplex of the ports on your switch. The preference
is to forcibly set 10 or 100Mbps, full or half duplex on both ends, and
not to rely on autonegotiation.

Also, check the CPU of the switch. Try other ports on the switch.
 Replace the cable. Try a crossover between a PC and the VAX.

There are so many little things that could be causing the problem. Mail
me off-list if you would like a hand, and I'll see what I can do!

Best wishes,


Peter.
