Message-ID: Date: 17 Oct 90 21:14:12 GMT Sender: news@sdcc6.ucsd.edu Lines: 20 Nntp-Posting-Host: kingkong.ucsd.edu Every once in a while, someone resets our NeXT or turns it off. When it reboots, it gives a message something like this, "Cannot find parent NetInfo server. Still trying. Talk to your system administrator if you are having problems." I talk to him and within a few days (they are very busy now) he does some magical thing to it to get it started again. It wasn't doing that until he installed some network package or something. He is not sure why it can't find the parent NetInfo server. I think that he even said that the NeXT *is* the parent NetInfo server. Does anyone have any ideas as to what I could suggest to him. When we first got it, you could turn it off and on again and even though it would take a long time to reboot, it didn't need this kind of intervention by a super-user. Thanks, in advance. -- ________________________________________________ <>___, / / | ... and he called out and said, "Gabriel, give | /___/ __ / _ __ ' _ / | this man an understanding of the vision." | /\__/\(_/\/__)\/ (_/_(/_/|_ |_______________________________________Dan_8:16_|
