problem with connecting to HP servers

[surendhar prakash.J]

Hi.....
We have some HP servers and sun servers.and we are connecting to those servers through "exceed" windows based graphics emulation software.It was working with out any problem,but now we are able to connect sun servers but not HP servers.(i.e when we connect to sun server we will get login screen immd.but when we connect to HP server we will get login screen after some time. Some server we are not getting connected)

All Sun machines are in an NIS domain and all HP machines are in different NIS domain each having its own NIS Master and slave servres.

We are able to telnet and rlogin to those machines but not through Exceed.

OS: HP UX 10.20

All machines are applied with latest patches.

Thanks in advance

If it's not the obvious ie a straight forward networking problem ( which it seems not to be as telenet etc work fine) then Are there any routers or switches in the way of the PC running Exceed and the HP boxes ? and also are they on the same subnet ?

Also are you trying direct XDMCP connect or an XDMCP Broadcast via Exceed ?

You best bet at the moment is to go into Exceed, Xconfig, Trouble-shooting and check Exceed.log and also run a Trace (config'd in the same GUI window) and get some more clues, if you see a load of errors relating to fonts, dt-interface imparticularly I'd setup a font server on the HP's and point Exceed to use : more info on this forum's database : If not post the info in the log file ....

hope this helps

Hi...

We are using switch between the system but i don't think that problem with switch because sun systems are working fine.

yes,we tried to connect direct XDMCP and XDMCP Broadcast.When we try to connect using "direct XDMCP" we will get error message as follows

XDMCP REQUEST HAS TIMED OUT

When we trid to connect using XDMCP Broadcast,it takes long time (1/2 hour) to list HP servers name.

exceed.log as follows:-

I reckon the switch may still be playing a part here ... any chance you can put a PC and HP box on same subnet without the switch etc in the way to test ?

If CDE's dtlogin is running on the box: you could try editting the /usr/dt/config/Xconfig, take a look at the Dtlogin*OpenTimeout resource : I think the default is 30 secs, check man dtlogin to be sure ,but maybe worth increasing this to 500 or more, however it's more of a work-around than a fix ?

We had a similar problem, when we log on thru Exceed it will take lot of time and
response was very slow. After that we found that the default gateway is the
problem that was the difference between our sun and hp servers. Pls check
the default gateway.

Try to use X-start from exceed and have the following command line:
/usr/bin/X11/xterm -ls -display @d -title whatever -sb -sl 256 -bg 'white' -fg 'black' &
Provide, of course, the other info required.
