Hi DU Admins

Last weekend I upgraded our bootp server from 3.2g to 4.0b.

Today one of our VXT2000+ x terminals was turned off and
then on again. Now it just endlessly cycles through "IP...".
At the same time syslog is showing:

   joind[20999]: refused connect from 0.0.0.0

So joind doesn't recognize the terminal.

I tried adding stuff to the bootptab entry using xjoin but with
no success. This is the bootptab entry now (added stuff is shown
with ***):

   xt6:\
        bf=vxt020:\
        hd=/tftpboot/vxt/images:\
        ht=ether:\
        vm=rfc1048:\
        ha=08002b36f71e:\
        ip=130.102.120.46:\
        sm=255.255.255.0:\
        :dn=physics.uq.edu.au:\ ***
        :ds=130.102.120.12:\ ***
        :gw=130.102.120.30: ***

So I added a domain name and the IP adresses of a name server and
a router. We didn't need these before and they made no difference.

Any ideas about what's missing?


Thanks
Ian
