Network lost after reboot
Hi .. can anyone help with this pleeaasse ..
I have a Sco Unixware 7.1.0 server which has been running fine for nearly 10 years ... we have not had to do any os changes for several years.
We tend to reboot it about once a month just to keep everthing clean!
My issue is that we have just rebooted it and on startup the network is not now working - I cannot ping anything other than the loopback or the server itself.
I have replaced the NICs (for the same model Intel Pro/100B), changed slots in the server and even restores the entire system from tape .. all to no avail!
The strange thing is though that the netcfg command seems to hang when trying to reconfigure the network - I have managed to remove the nic and re-configure it after severasl attempts but even when I have the network has not come back.
I really am lost now so any help would be appreciated ..
