- Hello, all
-
- We've two problems. Hope you can help us.
-
- 1. The first problem is related to the opening of a DECwindows window
- over TCP/IP on a Multinet host. We get the following error
- message. I can't find it neither in the Multinet manual, nor in
- the DECwindows User Guide.
-
- > dectermport failed to find language, XOpenDisplay("") returned NULL
- > %DECW-F-CANT_OPEN_DISPL, Can't open display
-
- Anyone triggered?
-
- 2. On our Multinet host we've both an ethernet and an FDDI interface.
- The default route is via ethernet. Changing the default route to
- FDDI gives me a lot of unreachable systems on the ehternet behind
- our cisco. Hope someone can tell me how to make the FDDI the
- default route?
-
- Another problem is, that the fddi interface is not reachable from
- other systems. However, if I first do a ping from the multinet
- host towards such a system, than that system (if it's on fddi) is
- placed in the ARP table, and then the fddi interface *is*
- reachable from that system. This trick doesn't work from an
- ethernet host, because the ethernet cisco interface is the only
- (default) route in the ARP table. What should I do to make the
- FDDI interface available towards any system on our LAN?
-
- Hope someone can help us. Thanks a lot in advance,
-
