[常有慈悲心]

where begin to do trouble shooting?

[Dave Olker · Accepted solution]

In the past I've had this problem when my hostname resolution was out of whack. If you're using DNS/hosts/NIS/NIS+/LDAP - check to make sure the local hostname is configured properly to resolve by both hostname and IP address. If you're using /etc/hosts, make sure the entry for the local system is correct there.

Regards,

the /etc/hosts,and net configure not changed
since last use cde .
so i think may be hardware wrong?

I would begin by going through the list of things suggested in this post, as this is a fairly comprehensive step-by-step list of things to check for CDE failsafe sessions:

If these steps don't work, please post any errors you found in the various logfiles (i.e. .dt/errorlog, syslog, etc.) during your investigation.
