Thanks for the reply, IBM. The information is very helpful. Now when I try to boot up my Xstation 120, the following error message will appear on the screen of the 120: "Could not connect to fileserver." And then going nowhere. As I checked, the x_st_mgrd server daemon is currently running on my server. Do I still miss something? Do I need to tell the 120 from which server to boot up? If so, how? Thanks in advance for more information! Ching Shih shih@cithex.bitnet shih@cithe1.cithep.caltech.edu

Do you have the X-station configured for that host? If not run /usr/lpp/x_st_mgr/bin/xconfig, and select (a)dd a terminal, and don't forget to fiddle with the (g)ateway for the ring or network you are on. Note: Not all sites require (g)ateway fiddling. I had my default gateway set incorrectly, and my Xstation just sat there as well.

We had a similar problem affecting our thickwire Xstations when upgrading to 3005, while the Xstations still using thinwire were fine (we're in the process of converting our thinwire to 10BaseT). It turns out that the SQE (heartbeat) function needs to be turned on the tranceiver to work properly with 3005. This will be fixed in future release.
