Exceed

[mtang]

Hi,

I have a problem about Exceed. My Exceed works well in one subnet. After I move unix to another subnet, my laptop can't see the CDE in the new subnet (same subnet as unix). But the another PC in old subnet still can login via Exceed.

Anyone can help me?
thanks

Have your firewall checked out.

Should be no difference in the configuration of Exceed from 1 subnet to another

Look in the /var/dt/Xerrors to see the reason why the dtlogin rejects you .

[mtang]

no firewall between 2 subnets.

In Exceed , in the security options you can have enabled the xhosts check to forbid access to the Xservers . Have a look at it..

The virtual lan VLAN setup of your network is stopping the transaction. If you are using xdmp broadcasting to make the connection that will not work across subnets.

You will have to put the ip address of the cde workstation server into exceed host explorer and connect that way.

Hi,

a common problem when using Hummingbird eXceed is to NOT care about the IP-address used by that tool itself. Check the settings to use an IP-address which is routable from your UN*X-workstation!
The one currently in use might not be reachable from your UN*X system at all...

FWIW,

Are You trying to connect using XDMCP broadcast?
I would assume this is the case, and this won't work, as the broadcast won't cross the (sub)network boundaries. Simply connecting using XDMCP direct connection to the server's hostname should resolve the problem.

Try setting your subnet mask on the broadcast/multcast within Exceed's Broadcast settings screen to your new subnet mask.
You will need Exceed Version 10 or later to do this.

Start XConfig
->Network Communication
->Select XDMCP-Broadcast from startup ops
->Click Configure
->Change the Broadcast/Multicast subnet mask as needed

Thanks all. I found it may be caused by my laptop (run windows 2003 server). My laptop can ping unix box, but unix box can't ping my laptop's ip address, either do other windows 2000 servers.They all belong to one subnet. I don't know why. I decide to reinstall my laptop and i think it will be ok.

However, to troubleshoot Exceed software, I feel it had better check the connections firstly, for example try to ping each other , then check the logs , then try to search the ITRC by the log. I believer it is a good method.

Thanks all again.

cheers

Hi Mtang
Last year I used Exceed. But i foud that this SW take much resource so I change to use

This is caused by laptop. My unix box can't ping my laptop.
