Dealing with Network Failures

If the program you have been running uses resources from a local area net-
work (LAN) and it stops unexpectedly, the following may help locate the
source of the problem:

Problems with the Network

Problem
No systems respond to
the /etc/ping hostname
command.
Your system doesn't
respond to /etc/ping
from another system on
the network.
Some systems respond
to /etc/ping, but others
do not.
Dealing with Network Failures
Action
• Check the network connection on the
panel of your board computer. Make
sure that the cable is securely fastened
to the connector.
• Check to see if the networking soft-
ware is still running on your system.
For HP-UX, use ps -ef to do so. If the
networking software is not running,
restart it by logging onto your system
as root and running /etc/rc (HP-UX
9.x only).
• Contact your network administrator,
if you have one. This condition either
indicates that some systems are down,
or that there is a fault with the net-
work.
