Network Card with SGI
The Octane is driving me nuts . It was sitting on the network doing its job nicely and i had to pull the n/w cable out from the wall to pull it from the inside of the table and connected it again . The logs show this -- link down .... < when i pulled it out >
link ok < when i connected >

But now the link network just refuses to work . I know the jack is working because i tried it on the Mac alongside it . But it dosent work with IRIX . I tried rebooting but to no avail . So i put it on diagnosis mode to see if there was a hardware failure . Didnt show anything unusual . So i booted it again . The network started working . Just out of curiosity I pulled out the Ethernet cable and fixed it again and there, it went down with it.

Now is it that i cant disconnect the cable when the machine is on when it comes to SGI. and if it is intrinsic how can i make it to network again.

My hunch is the n/w card is nearing its end but still i do not want to jump to conclusions..

Thanx
DP

ip6_setup

ip6_setup(8)						      System Manager's Manual						      ip6_setup(8)

NAME

       ip6_setup - IPv6 configuration program

SYNOPSIS

       /usr/sbin/ip6_setup

DESCRIPTION

       The ip6_setup utility allows you to configure the IPv6 networking software on your system.

       To run ip6_setup, enter the following command and then answer the questions: # ip6_setup

       You  must know your Internet Protocol Version 6 (IPv6) address. If your network uses subnet routing, you must know the subnet mask for your
       network.  The network manager should be able to provide you with the information that you need.

       After the ip6_setup command completes, the network services on the  system  can	be  restarted  manually  with  the  following  command:  #
       /usr/sbin/rcinet restart

       Before  you  restart  the  network  services  with  the preceding command, warn the users that the network services on the system are being
       removed.  File systems that were not mounted using the /etc/fstab file or the automount command must be unmounted with the unmount command.
       You must remount these file systems using the mount command after the network is started on your system.

       Alternatively, you can reboot the system with the following command: # /usr/sbin/shutdown -r now

FILES

       Specifies  the  host  name  file.  Specifies the environment variables that define the network configuration on your system.  Specifies the
       trusted hosts file.  Specifies the network name file.  Specifies Internet routing information.  Specifies Internet routing information.

SEE ALSO

       Commands: mount(8), rcinet(8)

       Files: gateways(4), hosts(4), hosts.equiv(4), networks(4), routes(4).
