[comp.windows.x] Can I run X10 without ethernet?

ndd@romeo.cs.duke.edu (Ned D. Danieley) (01/19/89)

I'm going to have to support a stand-alone Sun 3/160 running
X10, and I can't get X to start up on it. If I run a kernel
that has device ie0 defined, I get a lot of

ie0: no carrier

messages. If I make a kernel without ie0, X won't start up.
I tried using the kernel with ie0 included, and not doing the
ifconfig of ie0, but that doesn't seem to help. Any ideas how
I might get around this?

3/160, SunOs 3.5

you might want to try the following:

is your Sun 3/60 configured for thicknet (level 2) ours came configured
for thin net and displayed the same problems (It's a jumper on the
cpu board)

is your ethernet cable good ? (put a sniffer on it, if you have one)

run the system diag for ethernet

panic
