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.
