X windows and changing IP Address

I have changed my IP address in an X server machine and now I can?t start the windows manager.

I get the message:

"dtsesssion: The ToolTalk session server (ttsession) could not be
started. This identifies that either ToolTalk is not installed or
that is not installed correctly on this machine. Please see your
System Administrator"

What have I done bad?

Re: X windows and changing IP Address

Check your host name resolution sources (/etc/hosts, NIS or DNS) and see that the hostname AND address is correct, and that the address only matches the one computer.

Also check /var/adm/inetd.sec to see, if
the old IP-address is present here.

Re: X windows and changing IP Address

I'ts definitely connected to hostname resolution as no doubt you have guessed.

How did you change the IP ? Have you tried set_parms and then restarted the dtlogin / Xserver processes ?

dr_dt may prove useful ? places to check : /etc/hosts, netconf etc etc
