Hi Recently i have changed my HP machines IP .
After that i'm not able to get in to CDE.But i can get CDE when i acess the same machine through reflectionx.Please help me to figure this out.
Thanks

When you changed the IP address did you also change it in /etc/hosts file and in DNS (if you use DNS)?

[subhashni]

Yes.

You can get through Reflection-X which is interesting.

Can you run /usr/contrib/bin/X11/dr_dt and see if it reports any problems?.

Can you post your 'netstat -in' output?

check your /etc/nsswitch.conf
if the ip is ok in the hosts
file then use
hosts: files [NOTFOUND=continue] dns

in the nsswitch.conf file.

At least that's what I had to do.

CDE is critically dependent on hostname/IP resolution.

1. Check /etc/hosts. May be you have multiple or inconsistent entries in the file.
2. Test yor DNS server (/etc/resolv.conf). Try to resolve your own hostname and IP address from the nameserver.

Hi

Check your /dev/null file permission .It should be a character file with proper major and minor no. It should be smiliar to this
crw-rw-rw- 1 root sys 3 0x000002 Mar 26 15:51 null

All the best
