ENVIZEX2 problem after changing IP address

[Pawel Gontarek_1]

Hi,

I have changed an IP address of my XTerminal - envizex2. Now th eproblem is that my XTerm is alive but no CDE Login appears. On the screen last msg is "Starting applications" and XTerm hangs up ? Any suggestions what has happend ? What should I do ?

On the xwindows terminal,if you change the IP-Address it will try to give the terminal support to that IP-Address. Did you change the DISPLAY parameter and started the xterm client over there.

If you try from your old IP-Address it will be like that. So start the xterm client from that ip-address.

BTW: I have setup for Xterminal using xtadm (in /opt/hpxt/enware2/bin/)

Your xterminal has no programs of it own, it loads everything from the network. The CDE login is also used from another server. If the CDE login does not appear, it seems like it's XDMCP request (three possible types) is not answered.

Possible causes for your problem: default gateway is out of the network, netmask is wrong, broadcast address is wrong, DNS configuration is broken, etc.

Other possible cause: the envizex can use NFS to get its software. So your new IP address must be in DNS and the NFS server needs to allow the enivex on its new IP address/DNS name to access the files. What NFS server is used can be found in the menus you get after pressing F12 for some time.

If your X-server itself is started, but you don't get the login screen, your XDMCP host can not be reached.
To fix this problem, press F12 until your envizex setup screen appears, and find the XDMCP configuration. (I don't have an envizex right now to see which menu option this is in.) Set the XDMCP to 'XDMCP broadcast'. Then do 'OK' and you will get a list of all available XDMCP hosts.

I dont have the XDMCP configuration on my envizex (or may be I am blind ;) )

How / where did you change the Enizex's Ip address?

[Pawel Gontarek_1]

SETUP->NETWORK->ETHERNET-> I have put new IP Address/Mask etc...

I have following NETWORK options: File Server, Ethernet, Name service, gateways

Other options are: DIAGNOSTIC and TERMINAL

[Jeroen Peereboom]

Did you change the DNS entry of this Envizex too? Did you check Elmar's other suggestions?

If you set the IP-Address locally, make sure your X-Term is also configured to use that local IP instead of getting it's ip/hostname from a bootp server.

Check the configuration file your xterm was configured to read. I have had problems before when this file was modified to override the locally set DNS, netmask, and Gateway settings.

Was this Xterm moved to another Subnet? Did your Netstation servers also have their IP address changed?

[john kingsley]

I just had another thought. If your x-term is using NFS to boot, make sure the netstation server you are using has /opt/hpxt exported to your xterm.
showmount -e
By default, it is exported to everyone, but due to security concerns we had to explictly to each of our xterms.
