Very Computer

Hello,

        I have one workstation IBM 43p model 150 configurated under network. I
have difined the hostname,IP, ......, and it work very fine. But when i
make a shutdown and bring up the machine again, the configuration is lost
!!! If i make a "ping" to an other PC in network, that doesn't work.
        Then i make smitty tcpip, and choose "Minimum Configuration & Startup",
then
en0, and just change the field START Now to YES, the machine work very
nice. If i reboot, i have the same problem.

        If i try to make this changes in CDE, the system crash !!! So i have to
make this changes under console.

        When the system is comming up, i see he is loading the TCP/IP demons,  but
the network doesn't work. Any sugestions ???

Tanks for the help,
Marco

Check available space left in the root file system.  At the command line type df.
Check under the %Used column on the top line (should be for the / file system.)  If
it's at 100%, increase.  This is where I've seen this problem before.

Hi!
Did you do an update on AIX recently? I have the same kind of problem
when updating from AIX3.2.5 to 4.3.2.

check  your tcp filesets:
lslpp -l |grep tcp
You should get *TWO* bos.net.tcp.server and two bos.net.tcp.client
If it is not the case, contact IBM for a fix.

Hope it will help

I'd check the permissions on /etc/rc.net.  It
should be executable. :)

Perhaps you have not set the interface to start "NOW" and at "Startup".....

There is an option for "BOTH" - you may be only selecting the now option.
