Hi Tamvnit,

This is a name resolution problem.
Try running below command and resolve the error messages.

# dr_dt

what does /etc/hosts have in it?

you need to make sure that nslookup returns your IP address (the same one in the /etc/hosts), and make sure that your hostname isn't on a line with 127.0.0.1

The command : nslookup return my IP address and it isn't on a line with 127.0.0.1, it is 192.168.40.15 as i set before.But the problem still occur, What can i do ?
Should i re-install CDE to solve ? Or have to re-install OS :(.

After using : dr_dt command, i recived the report with :
0 ERROR message and 3 warning
As far as i've known, i have to solve this warning to start CDE correctly.
So what can i do to solve the following warning ?
[QUOTE from console screen]]
INFO: Checking inetd configuration...

WARNING: /var/adm/inetd.sec does not exist. It needs to be on the system in order for HP CDE to run properly. There may have been a problem at installation. You can either reinstall HP CDE or get a copy of the file from another compatible system.

WARNING: Unable to verify the contents of the /var/adm/inetd.sec file, either because it does not exist, or does not have read permission.

INFO: Checking / validity

WARNING: The / directory is not properly configured. The current configuration is:
permissions = drwxr-xr-x
owner = root
group = root
For HP CDE to function correctly, it should be a directory with the following configuration:
permissions = dr-xr-xr-x
owner = root
group = sys
Although the permissions of your home directory may be different from the above, please check that you are able to write to your own directory.
