Hi,

Check you /etc/hosts file for your servers name

127.0.0.1 hostname_of_machine localhost loopback

Check /etc/rc.config.d/netconf file for

HOSTNAME="hostname_of_machine" ## where hostname is the name of the machine.
IP_ADDRESS[0]="127.0.0.1"

# shutdown -r -y now

Hope this helps,
Robert-Jan

Generally this is a hostname resolution issue. Start by running "/sbin/set_parms hostname" and "/sbin/set_parms ip_address" to reset your hostname and ip_address properly. Reboot when set_parms asks you to after setting the ip_address. Then try CDE.

Hi,

See the output of
#hostname
Then check /etc/hosts file check whether the hostname in /etc/hosts and that one listed by hostname command are same.

# ping hostname
# ping localhosts

See if that works. DO the required changes it necessary and try accessing CDE.

Hope that helps.
