- #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?
- #
-
- This means a number of things. Run $MU X11/LOG and send me the output.
- Also, make sure other X applications are failing.
-
- #
- #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,
- #
-
- I'll let others answer this.
