Xterm, Can't open display Couldn't find per display information

Hi everybody
I'm working with HP-UX 11.11. From the last two days I have the following error when I try to start any Xterm (or dtterm,...).
#export DISPLAY=IP:0.0
#xterm &
# Error: Can't open display: 170.251.188.5:0.0
Error: Couldn't find per display information

In the syslog and in .dt directory I can't see any significant error. I restart the dtlogin daemon but the problem persist. I have telnet and ping with my workstation (windows).

Do any have any suggestion?

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

Just a thought, could you check your local PC, maybe you have recieved a new ipaddress (DHCP).

Use ipconfig command to determine the changed ip and then use the same in DISPLAY.

By the way, I had a similar problem this morning, my xvision server did not run on my local pc.

This problem is the same for all the people who work with this server so, I think that the problem is in the server a it isn't in the clients.

Hi everybody
The problem was the network and the firewall. The network team changes any in the firewall and closes this service.

Thanks for all.

The probles was in the network, any route was wrong and some packages lost in the network. In one way works fine and in other doesn't work.
