DHCP problem?

Nikos Avradinis — Mon, 13 May 2002 14:41:34 GMT

Hello all.

I am a total novice on HPUX so please excuse any mistakes or silly questions. I work on a D220/HPUX 10.20 server with A4450A graphics card. When the system boots up, I see the following messages:

/sbin/rc[61]: csh: not found.
/sbin/auto_parms, checking network for DHCP server (see /etc/auto_parms.log)

After that, the system seems totally stuck and does nothing. I interrupt the boot-up process and set again the values manually
(ifconfig lan0 [myipaddress]
and
/sbin/set_parms/addl_netwrk),
but I cannot ping anything beyond my subnet.
The system does not recognize the specified subnet mask (255.255.255.128) and uses 255.255.255.0 instead.

This probably prevents me from logging on to CDE (CDE loading also seems to hang at some point)

Is this due to DHCP misconfiguration? Does anybody have a clue?

Thanks

You probably got DHCP enabled, try to disable it ..
The file is /etc/rc.config.d/netconf and change to this ..

DHCP_ENABLE[0]=0

the "0" disables it.

Reboot the system afterwards.

Hi Nikos

/etc/rc.config.d/netconf

diable DHCP_ENABLE[0]=0

and stop and restart the net by

/sbin/init.d/net stop
and
/sbin/init.d/net start .

(610 in /etc/rc is line no inthat file which produces this error which relates to autoparms

.
