I installed router for my DSL, and tinkering with SMITTY i enabled DHCP, now i get error "DT messaging could not be started--please check etc/hosts". I want to disable DHCP, I dont need it. Or, would problem be caused by other??.
 
Also, if I ignore this message, i get ToolTalk errors on any icon i select in CDE
 
Usually the setting in /etc/rc.tcpip are where the features are enabled...
(well in smit) but the fields are probably uncommented.

You can do a lssrc -g tcpip
and look for what dhcp daemons are active
then stopsrc -s thatdaemon
then in /etc/rc.tcpip.....put a # sign in front of the start line for the daemons
that got started? (or if you have an old copy of the rc.tcpip before the changes put it back. ...put it back)

Hope this helps.
