I am having trouble getting my X-Windows up and running. Machine: RedHat 7.3 A bit of history; it used to work. My machine crashed (Lightning Hit on Phone line) and it was rebooted, all seems ok, except for two things. X-Windows does not start up on my remote workstation. (I use Exceed on a PC) X used to work just fine and AFAICT no config fiels have been changed.. The Linux box has full network connectivity and no errors on boot up.
But When I try to connect to X from a remote terminal, I do see this in /var/log/messages and it has me baffled.

The machine I am coming from is 192.168.8.10, and the IP on this machine is 192.168.8.200. Where is it getting the 169.254.0.0 address from ?? Any clues to help me on my way ? (If I log in via SSH, manually set the DISPLAY variable and then execute an xterm, the window pops up on my workstation, so the PC (AFAICT) is working ok) Thanks Darryl -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?subject=unsubscribe https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
