[comp.sys.ti.explorer] Suns and Explorer on the same net

quiniou@calculo.irisa.fr (Rene Quiniou) (05/30/90)

We have the following problem here: when we try to boot a Sun
workstation running OS4.0 the Explorer prevent the boot. What happen is
that when booting the Sun broadcasts a RPC/UDP message to the portmapper
in order to get the program bootparam. The Explorer answers this query
by an error message telling that it has not this program. But this error
message interrupts the Sun's boot. In order to let the Suns boot we have
to switch the Explorer off. Did somebody face the same problem? Is there
a simple solution? We have an Explorer II running system rel. 4.1.
