I cannnot access my server remotely...

I can't ping the server remotely... but I can login from MP...

how to go about it

[Tingli]

Able to login from MP doesn't mean you have a network connection to the system. When you try to ping the system, what does there response it says?

Three possible causes. There is no connection to the remote site. Or the gateway setting is wrong from either your one server or the remote server. And last but not the least, you can not get a correct IP address of the remote site.

Is it running? Is it connected to the
network? Are you sure that you're using the
right IP address?

> but I can login from MP...

Does that mean that you can log into the MP,
or that you can log into HP-UX on the system?
Serial port on the MP, or Telnet, or what?

As usual, showing actual commands with their
actual output might be more helpful than
vague descriptions and interpretations.

> how to go about it

Start with a better description of the
situation. Then check the obvious things.

Some description of "my server" might also be
of some value to those of us who can't see
it.

well I have rx7640

I can login remotely to MP and from there I login to the console..

Pinging 147.22.41.125 with 32 bytes of data:
Request timed out.

I have the IP address set up in /etc/hosts & rc.config.d/netconf

what else should I look for to login remotely.

[Patrick Wallek]

Once logged into the system via the console can you: ping your default gateway? ping other system? telnet/ssh to other systems?

Have you verified that networking is set up correctly on the server?

I'm wasting my e-breath, I can tell.

> [...] from there I login to the console..

What, exactly, does this mean? Are you
logging into HP-UX, or talking to the system
console, or what? From your description, I
don't even know if the system has been
powered on yet.

> Pinging 147.22.41.125 with 32 bytes of data:

And you did this where? And who is
147.22.41.125?

> I have the IP address set up in /etc/hosts
> & rc.config.d/netconf

I should trust your opinion?

What _else_ other than what? What have you
checked up to now? Is the network cable
plugged in?

Provide some basic info, or else you might do
better if you called a psychic hot-line.

I guess networking is not set up correctly on the server ... as I cannot ping to other server/telnet to ther servers


# ping 127.0.0.1
PING 127.0.0.1: 64 byte packets

That would do it.

I'm not sure what you are trying to show with this. All this proves is that you can ping to loopback address. This shows that the IP stack is working, but nothing else.

If you want additional help, things like:

output of 'netstat -in'
output of 'netstat -rn'
output when you try to log into or ping some other host

will be extremely helpful.

steven,

system is powered on

147.22.41.125 is the IP address of the server of which i am talking on

>>What, exactly, does this mean?

means like log on to Mp to access the OS


147.22.41.125 hp01.hp.com
127.0.0.1 localhost loopback


Cables are all connected properly... Networking has not been done from the OS side

[Patrick Wallek]

>>Networking has not been done from the OS side

What exactly do you mean by this?
