Installing MacX -Questions-

[robert patoine]

I have problems installing MaxX onto a Sun 4/330 V 4.1.3
I use the server configuration both on the Ethertalk or the Local Talk.
We use a GatorBox so My configuration look like this
Domain pluto
Adress 192.9.200.1
Gateway 192.9.200.2
This is for the Mac tcp connection

The path to xterm seems to be /usr/openwin/bin/xterm
Is this standard on a sun

A release note specified that we should add the Mac Adress to the
/ect/hosts file in order for the sun to accept a server
This is my /etc/hosts file
If the yellow pages is running, this file is only consulted when booting

# These lines added by the Suninstall Program
#
192.9.200.1 Pluto loghost
192.9.200.2 GatorBox
192.9.200.3 pc-3com
192.9.200.12 SE1
192.9.200.15 SE2
192.9.200.102 mac_archive

127.0.0.1 localhost

End of lines added by the Suninstall Program
What is the exact procedure in order to see a basic term under MacX?
Many thanks

That's where it is on my system.

Either there or in your name server; the Sun won't talk to strangers.

Then you should just be able to put /usr/openwin/bin/xterm in as a
remote command in MacX, click on the Host button, select MacTCP and
the Sun, and click Ok then Execute.

Are you getting any error messages, either in a dialog box or in
Command Output (under the Remote menu)?

Don't forget to run ypmake on the SUN after changing the hosts file.
