Message-ID: <1991Jun28.185450.21623@cs.ubc.ca> Date: 28 Jun 91 18:54:50 GMT Sender: John Buchanan buchanan@cs.ubc.ca Distribution: na Organization: GraFiC, University of British Columbia, Vancouver, B.C., Canada Lines: 36 I have been trying to set up a xterminal 120 over a gateway. The xstation manager is running on a *.*.8.* network on which the gateway resides. The xstation is on a *.*.9.* network. The documentation in the xstation handbook do not indicate any configuration to be done on the actual station. The documentation for the xstation manager indicates that setting the subnet mask and the gateway address should be sufficient. Upon booting the xstation looks for its bootp server and never finds it. Does any one have any hints or know of any problems with the approach that I have described. ========================================================================= | |===============================| | John Buchanan (juancho) | buchanan@cs.ubc.ca | | Imager Manager |===============================| | Imager | (604) 228-2218 | | Department of Computer Science |===============================| | University of British Columbia | Standard disclaimer | | Vancouver, BC, Canada | included in this | | | box, right here. | ========================================================================= | This from ;login: (The USENIX Association Newsletter), Sep/Oct 1990, | | in a report on a Usenix Standards BOF session: | | | | An overheard conversation: | | | | -"Mach was the greatest intellectual fraud in the last ten years." | | | | -"What about X?" | | | | -"I said `intellectual' " | | | =========================================================================
