Wow!! you have too many questions!!

Well, about running Opera on FreeBSD, I am unable to help you there. These ports are meant to be broken and for a person who never uses GUI on UNIX boxes, it's difficult to troubleshoot X related issues. Sorry!

Coming to Network Link number change, are you trying to say you want to change the name of the NIC from en2 to en0?

For AIX, I can guide you through the process, but it's the hard way. Someone else might show you much simpler way though.

Here it is:

Code:

# save the info about the NIC
odmget -q name="ent2" CuDv >>/tmp/en2
odmget -q name="ent2" CuAt >>/tmp/en2
odmget -q name="ent2" CuVPD >>/tmp/en2

# Bring the interface down
ifconfig ent2 down
ifconfig ent2 detach

# remvove references from the ODM
odmdelete -q name="ent2" -o CuAt
odmdelete -q name="ent2" -o CuDv
odmdelete -q name="ent2" -o CuVPD
odmdelete -q value3="ent2" -o CuDvDr

# replace the NIC name from ent2 to ent0
sed "s/ent2/ent0/g" /emp/ent2 >/tmp/ent0

# add the new info in ODM
odmadd /tmp/ent0

# check and confirm
lsdev -Cc adapter -l ent*

If you are using production system, I would highly recommend that you consult with someone who is expert in AIX ODM before doing anything!!

For FreeBSD:

Code:

vi /etc/rc.conf
# Add the following to change the name of the NIC from em2 to em0
ifconfig_em2_name="em0"
#change the following line by substituting em2 to em0; use your own IP details
ifconfig_em0="inet 10.0.1.105 netmask 255.255.0.0"

And reboot. That's about it!

Hi,
Thanks for your reply.. But....
Am not trying to change the NIC interface.. No issues regarding that..
I need to change that "network link#" When "netstat -in" is typed on command prompt we get a output right, in that under Network Column "link#2" is displayed.. I need to change that "link#2" to "link#0" in AIX..
And in freeBSD "link#1" to "link#0".. Please do help me...

To be honest i am not really sure about us not doing homework here. The question nr. 2 is quite suspiciously phrased. Anyway, i am going to give the benefit of doubt and will answer at least two questions - 1 and 4 - , which seem to be in fact one. Is it just me or is there absolutely no difference in them?

The reason is that your X-server is refusing to let the client connect to the display managed by it. Enter xhost + (which suspends any restriction regarding clients) on the system running the X-server and try again, now this error should be gone.

You might want to read this post for a short explanation of how X-Windows works.

I hope this helps.

Thank You for your reply regarding opera..
But still that network link issue remains....

Would it be possible for you to show us the "netstat -in" output on bothe the AIX and the FreeBSD boxes?

"netstat -in" shows the interface details with the name of the NIC. How are you getting "link#" as the output? Something is fishy here.

Hi,
The output of netstat -in of AIX is posted...
The same appears for FreeBSD too..
Please help me to sort out the issue..
The link#3 is highlighted that has to be changed to "link#0"
Please help me.. My project is in the half way..
Should change to "link#0" then only I will be able to proceed
