Dealing With Problems
Dealing with Network Failures
Dealing with Network Failures
If the program you have been running uses resources from a local area net-
work (LAN) and it stops unexpectedly, the following may help locate the
source of the problem:
Table 10-3
Problems with the Network
Problem
Action
No systems respond to
the
/etc/ping
hostname
command.
Check the network connection on the
panel of your board computer. Make
sure that the cable is securely fastened
to the connector.
Your system doesn’t
respond to
/etc/ping
from another system on
the network.
Check to see if the networking soft-
ware is still running on your system.
For HP-UX, use
ps -ef
to do so. If the
networking software is not running,
restart it by logging onto your system
as root and running
/etc/rc
(HP-UX
9.x only).
Some systems respond
to
/etc/ping
, but others
do not.
Contact your network administrator,
if you have one. This condition either
indicates that some systems are down,
or that there is a fault with the net-
work.
