Little help needed.

UNIX AIX
1

Hello,

I am quite new to AIX, but have Linux experience.

Iam facing a peoblem with AIX 5.2 running on a 43p Model 150 (RS6000).

I tried everyting and i cant have the network to run properly. :confused:

/etc/hosts looks like this:
127.0.0.1 loopback localhost
192.168.XXX.XXX blanc.processia2003.com

my /etc/resolv.conf
nameserver 192.168.XXX.XXX
domain processia2003.com

I can ping localhost but i cant ping anything else.
My domain runs on Win2k3.

I ran smit mktcpip and entered all the required info, i had the "OK" status at the end of the process but i cant ping any other machines.

Any thoughts?

Many thanks.

what does ifconfig -a show you? Also are you trying to ping by hostname or ip address?

Ty forthe reply.

Ifconfig -a
en1 flags=4e080863,80<UP,BROADCAST,NOTRAILERS,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST,GROUPRT,64BIT,PSEGM,CHAIN>
inet 192.168.10.101 netmask 0xfffffff00 broadcast 127.255.255.255
inet6 ::1/0
tcp_sendspace 65536 tcp_recvspace 65536

Can you ping addresses by ip address rather than hostname? Can you ping machines on the same subnet, but not other subnets? Also, verify your subnet mask is correct.

No, i canot ping in any way. IP or hostname.
I am on the same subnet for all my machines. Windows and Unix.

I fixed it.

I went in /etc/rc.tcpip and the domain name daemon was not started at boot time.
