Thanks, I'll give that a go this morning and I'll let you know the results. :-)

Hi, any suggestions would be appreciated. Here is what I have done so far... oh, and I have very limited spare parts, of course. Was told the Sparc 20 was hung, it was, the display was there, but stupid me didn't write down the error message. It looked as if CDE had bombed, because the...

Hi, any suggestions would be appreciated. Here is what I have done so far... Was told the Sparc 20 was hung, it was, the display was there, but stupid me didn't write down the error message. It looked as if CDE had bombed, because the background screen (white background, large black font) was...

Does anyone know what the difference is (voltage levels and so forth) between 422 comm port and 422 tty? Thanks for any suggestions! :-)

Hi there everbody! Does anyone know where I can find a 10/100 BaseT driver for AIX 3.2.5? I can't upgrade the OS because of development reasons, but I want to upgrade from the 10Base2 thin net adapters already installed. If you happen to know the driver name (i.e. devices.mca.8fxx) that...

Is there a bug in 4.1.5 or is there a place to set the environment variable concerning what class of network your machine is on? Or could this be particular to the IBM R50 (powerPC) platform? Thanks again!!! :-D

Sector, Already attempted hardcoding the rc.net this morning and it still didn't work. What is very strange about all of this is that all of our other boxes that either run 4.3.3 or 3.2.5 do not exhibit this behavior! The other boxes also use class C ip addresses mixed with class B ... so...

Sector, Thanks for the tip(s)... it appeared to work, but when I tried to change the gateway for en1 it failed stating network unreachable (because the netmask reverted to 255.255.255.0)! ARRRGHHHH! As to your query about my ip address, it is 200.0.124.250 ... is that why the OS thinks I...

Did an ifconfig en1 and it returns a netmask of 0xffffff00 (e.g. 255.255.255.0) so the ifconfig en1 netmask doesn't change it permenantly... sigh.

Mr Morsing, Thank you for your suggestion as well!! Steve :-D

Sector, The odmget returns 255.255.255.0 as expected. I am searching in etc, but still haven't found anything ... IBM hardware folks are coming out to change the dead battery... but I have serious doubts that is the root cause. Even with a dead battery, I should be able to write to the ODM...

Thank you Mr Morsing! But it didn't work! tried ifconfig en1 netmask 255.255.0.0 and it acted like it worked (no error or complaint)... but went into smit tcpip and lo and behold the netmask is still 255.255.255.0! Frustrated but having fun, Steve :-)

Got a chance to reboot and the netmask went back to 255.255.255.0! $#^@$^@%&@!!! Anyway, I was wondering if a dead battery (date/time resets if server is completely powered off) may have something to do with this ... or could it be permission on some obscure file not allowing a "real&quot...

Was able to change the netmask in the database with the -P option ... and now it actually shows the mask I want, but isn't really there (certainly could cause confusion) until I cycle tcpip (or reboot)... which I can't do right now. Definetly a bug in 4.1.5 that doesn't exist in 4.3.3 (or even...

Tried it, like I thought it just started the daemons, and since they are already running had no effect ... later today I'll kick some folks off and actually stop tcpip, change the netmask and then restart it ... and see if it works... thanks for the suggestion. :-)

But doesn't that just restart tcpip daemons? I don't see how that would make a difference (isn't necessary on my other machines) ... but hey, I'll give it a shot!! I'll let you know! Thanks! :-)

OS = AIX 4.1.5 Platform = R50 (PowerPC) Server 2 10Base2 and 1 10/100BaseT NIC (recently installed) Needed to change Netmask from 255.255.255.0 to 255.255.0.0 Via SMIT was able to change it (returned 'OK'), but when checking it again, it reverts back to 255.255.255.0 Do not have this problem...

1. System came up this morning, but 'homevg' did not ... tried to manually varyon (varyonvg homevg), but it said a drive was missing. 2. Booted into maintenance mode, found the bad drive, removed (physically) and replaced it. 3. Here is where I screwed up. I still needed to restore the...

Thank you pansophic! Discovered how to set it up by accident. Was going to take out the NIC card to see if there were jumpers -- I powered of the box and it's SCSI external tape drive, checked the card and didn't find any jumpers. So I powered on the box (a 386 running AIX Unix for PC) and...

In UNIX system V, we are trying to force our network card to switch from the BNC connector to the DIX connector (9pin to Cat5 converter). No luck so far... any help would be greatly appreciated! :-)
