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:
Table 9-4 Problems with the Network
Problem Action
No systems respond to
the /etc/ping hostname
command. • Check the network connection on the
panel of your board computer. Make
sure that the cable is securely fastened
to the connector.
Your system doesn’t
respond to /etc/ping
from another system on
the network. • Check to see if the networking soft-
ware is still running on your system.
For HP-UX, use ps -ef to do so.
Some systems respond
to /etc/ping, but others
do not. • 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.
