Re: no /etc/X11 in 4.0.3



Yes, I can ping 127.0.0.1. I have a modem installed. Also, I had a wireless 
adapter installed that gets a static ip address. The wireless stuff (intel 
anypoint) required the system be given a name.

i called the system HOMEBASE. I have attempted setting DISPLAY to:
127.0.0.1:0.0
HOMEBASE:0.0
homebase:0.0
<static ip>:0.0

nothing has worked. My xserver windows appears. The netstat output shows , a 
connection on port 6000, and I am able to telnet (a debug step from another 
posting) to that port. However, local clients (I really don't have a way to 
try remote) cannot seem to get to the xserver (cannot locate/connect to 
display msg).

Whatever I set the DISPLAY to, netstat shows a couple of tcp connections. 
Something like:

local address                    foreign address
127.0.0.1:<some number>          127.0.0.1:6000

or if a change DISPLAY to HOMEBASE:0.0

HOMEBASE:<some number>           HOMEBASE:6000

I guess that is correct???

thanks,
Doug
