Hi All!
I finished hpux11.0 instalation. I'm trying to connect using a XWindows Client (Reflection), but I get error. The message says to check the /etc/hosts, but no problem exist with it.
Please, how can I check if XWIN instalation is ok?
Thanx in advance.

hi,

look at /etc/rc.config.d/desktop
and see whther the entry
DESKTOP=CDE exists.

restart cde server:
/sbin/init.d/dtlogin.rc stop
/sbin/init.d/dtlogin.rc start

If reflectionX still cannot connect, look at the DNS configuration
#nslookup
>systemname
>ipaddress
both should return the correct values.
Check whether the network interfaces are up.

99% of the time, this problem has to do with DNS lookups or network issues.

Are you trying to connect by hostname or by Ip address. You may want to add the hosts to your local hosts file on the workstation that you are trying to connect from..

Hi Claudio,

Give the server ip address in place of the name when reflection asks you for the host name.

Hope this helps.

Claudio:
I'm not very familiar with reflection (I use Exceed and X-Win32 as well as a tried and true old 700 Xterm) but, have you tried using broadcast XDCMP mode? That will query all available servers and you'll get a list of possible connections.
Good Luck!

Hi Claudio,

Under reflexion X try XDMCP direct and give the ip address of the server name in palce of the server. If you want to connect using your server name your workstation should be able to resolve the server name using DNS / NIS or else you should have an entry for the server in the hosts file of your workstation.

Under NT this hosts file is c:\winnt\system32\drivers\etc\hosts

Edit this file using notepad and then add an entry for the host you are trying to connect. The entry should be,

ip_add_of_server server_name

Hope this helps.
