A question about DHCP

[Wang,MinJie]

Hi all
I have a question:
I have a B2000 system with a lancard installed
I wanted to configure it to get IP from our DHCP Server.
So I modified the /etc/rc.config.d/netconf file and
enabled DHCP and restarted
And it started then the problem came
I can remotely telnet it from my desktop
and it got the IP 192.168.1.5
So I think it's ok to DHCP
But the CDE can't be started
Can you tell me why?
Thx in advance

Shalom,

/sbin/init.d/xfs start

check

/etc/rc.config.d/xfs

See if the first variable is set to 1.

Set it so so next time you start the system xfs auto starts

xfs is the font server and without it cde will not work.

I'm sorry but the file you told is used to start cde in run level 2
So it didn't work
Any idea about how to configure DHCP to start CDE?
Thankyou

I tru64,there is a work around for this issue.Just have a try.
-----------------------------------
To get around CDE, you might try this:

in $HOME/.dtprofile:

DTNONETWORK = true

This should allow CDE to start without a network configuration.

Hi all
I found where the problem is
The IP address of lan0 doesn't consist with the address in /etc/hosts where the enviroment
variable DISPLAY referes because of DHCP
So have you any idea to solve this problem?
Can I make the /etc/hosts dynamicly?
thankyou
