I am building my network. Since I only have one NeXt, I have to set up a
non-NetInfo network. I have one A/UX and x Macs and y PCs runing TCP/IP to
access NeXT and A/UX. There is also a router on the net. So I can communicate
with Other networks. Right now, my network seems to work okay.
Two questions:
1. Can the NeXT laser priter be shared with other machines on a nonNetInfo
network and how?
( According the manual "Network and System Administration", you can export
a NeXT printer on a NetInfo network. But it doesn't mention the
possibility on a non-NetInfo network )
2. I am trying to set up XNeXT on my NeXT and run clients from other machines
on XNeXT or the other way around.
I have tared XNeXT.tar.Z by
zcat XNeXT.tar.Z | tar xfv -
I could launch XNeXT but got a black square cursor and non-X icon.
Amazingly, I was able to run ico and some clients, but not xterm, twm or
uwm. After setenv-ing the display to the NeXT on A/UX, I could even run
clients from NeXT to the X server on A/UX.
Could someone give me help to set up XNeXT right?
Thanks for any help.
