Reflection X

Volker Wolf — Thu, 07 Nov 2002 13:40:48 GMT

Hi,

while our networkers stopped WINS ( they are using novell now) my reflection connection to my HPUX servers failed.
The note says that the XDMCP-Connection failed ... (RX2102).
Telnet is ok.

where should i look, or have to change something?

Thanks Volker

Hi,

The Novell protocol don't work with HP ;-)
The WINS server convert access between Novell world and the rest +? our planet.
Shure that you are in TCPIP first, then
try to configurate xdmcp in query mode and specified the HP server adress.

See you.

you may be looking for a server by name

I use xdmcp direct by IP address to connect.

Hello all,

as i understand i use XDMCP to get the special "reflection-window" (to work on my server).
when i start reflection with XDMCP Broadcast, it shows me all my unix servers - so there must be a "sign" of them.

if i start telnet ... i get a connection but not the "X" window.

regards volker

I connect to several HP servers. That is why I do not use XDMCP and CDE to any one server. I find X windows to each server works best.
Setup Reflection connection settings as follows:
Method: TELNET
Host name: hosta
user name: dave
password: decide if you want auto login or ask for password each time. If userid is root I suggest you enter password each time.
Command:(/usr/bin/X11/hpterm -sl 5s -sb +ls -display %IP#% - name %T% &)
You can add -geometry 132x54-0+0 before the & if you want to control the size and placement of the window.
This will use TELNET to connect to your system then start the X-Windows environment for that system. You can open an X-Window for each server and not have any impact from one to the other as you would with CDE and XDMCP.

Good luck
