11.23 on 9000 N Class

[H S Z]

Dear Gurus,
I've installed 11.23 on my HP 9000 N class server. after completion of OS installation, i can ping every host from my N class server. but from other hosts, i can not ping, nor telnet to my N Class.
Can anyone help?
Regards,
Horace

Horace,
have you checked the ip address and address resolution ?
Does your DNS server know about your machine.

Since packets are coming back from the other servers after you ping them it doesn't sound like a routing issue unless they are on the same physical network segment.

How are you trying to get to the 9000 from the other servers -- IP address or host name?

Shalom,

Make sure there is a valid /etc/nsswitch.conf

See what /etc/inetd.conf says and make sure its running.

inetd

hi .
am pingin the n class server by ip. am not doing anything with name yet.

[Jonathan Fife]

Is there anything in the syslog on the N-class about refused connections or anything? Are you running tcpwrappers, or a service that would be locking down ports?

[H S Z]

it's a fresh installation. nothing has been installed a part from the OS Core DVD. Even the Application DVD has not been installed.
am trying to get the /etc/inetd.conf and syslog.log files posted, but since i not ping the n class from anywhere, i can not get them.
but i think we have a point on the inetd.conf file. does anyone has a sample of which such file should look like? because i can see in my file, that all lines are commented.
waiting for ur comments.....

For every HP-UX system for the last decade, there is a default file archive. It is in:

/usr/newconfig

In your case,

cp /usr/newconfig/etc/inetd.conf /etc/inetd.conf

and you now have the original file.
