Obtain bad address bge0

Hi
i was changing the ip address, gateway and dns of a sun solaris 9 machine. i have edited the files hosts, resolv and defaultrouter elsewhere. however, i forgot to copy the edited hosts file over and reboot the system. i thus obtained bad address bge0 and when ifconfig -a , it shows inet 0.0.0.0. have used terminal to get in and managed to use vi to create a file and mv to replace the hosts file. (hosts file is read only under vi). after reboot, inet still is 0.0.0.0. Have then use ifconfig command to change it and it manages to change to the required ip address. But the problem lies here, after reboot, the inet jumps back to 0.0.0.0 although the hosts file is correct now..
any one knows a solution to this? please..
thanks

You also needed to edit /etc/hostname.bg0 in order to set an hostname. Also; just because a file is marked 'readonly' in vi doesn't mean you can't edit it. If you have the proper permissions (root) you can force vi to save your changes regardless of the lacking w permission flag using !.

  • Problem: The  wireless  client Obtaining IP address.

    Problem: The  wireless client Obtaining IP address.
    Setup.
    I have a fiber circuit which feedes my Wan port. Then
    I made a local network that then I branch off to five other AirPort Extremes.
    Acting as access points with a static IP for local network, with no security enable and extending the wireless network name is off.
    With both types of models, the new & older all extreme models.
    Sym:
    I can reset the head end airport router with will fix the problem for a day or so.
    Question:Can the wireless client cause this type of problem. the reason I asked, everything was working fine for the last 2 two years until I added a new access point. I have change it out with another unit which did not help the dhcp problem.
    So my thinking either my head end router is starting to go bad with DHCP or a wireless client interaction may be locking up DHCP until I restart the router again.
    Has any one had the same type of problems with DHCP???

    Thanks for the quick response.
    The first option sounds like I need some  type of wireless software which at the moment I'm not utilizing so don't know how to do that.
    option 2 also sounds foreign to me ! ;-)
    Can you add some details or point me to any links you can ref me to so I can try to familiarize myself with these options ?

    Assuming you have these accounts set up in Mail, open preferences and under Accounts tab, edit the SMTP outgoing server list. Do you have a .mac address in the list? If so, delete it.
    Are you using iCloud?
    For the troubled account, select the correct SMTP server for that account in the box and check the box to use only that server with that account.

  • How can I purge a bad address from iPad Mail?

    I have entered a bad address for my husband, thinking it was his correct e-mail address. I finally figured out it was wrong(there was an extra letter in it) and I changed it in contacts to correct it(Mobile Me corrected it on all my devices).
    Now when I type in his name to send him an e-mail, iPad keeps wanting to send it to the old incorrect address, instead of the corrected address shown in contacts. Please tell me how I can purge the incorrect address from the mail program.

    The more times that you use the correct email address, the sooner the correct address should come up as the first option in the list. Still can't delete it, but eventually the correct address should pop up as the first option over the incorrect address.

  • HP LJ8000n unable to obtain IP address

    We have an old LaserJet 8000n that is unable to obtain an IP address. It has been working for the last 10 or so years. In the last two weeks or so, the printer is unable to get an IP address. I did a cold reset and nothing happens. The printer is setup to use DHCP to obtain IP address. I did also tried putting the IP address in manually but that does not work either. Below is the JetDirect configuration page printout.
    Any help/suggestion is much appreciated.

    This seems to be a commercial product. For the best chance at finding a solution I would suggest posting in the forum for HP Business Support!

  • The operation couldn't be completed. Bad address

    Until yesterday, FCP was working fine. today I get that message : The operation couldn’t be completed. Bad address
    This week is my biggest post-prod week and I really have no time or patience to deal with this kind of sh***
    Here what happens...
    When I try to create a new Event, I get that message. If I quit and reopen FCP, the event has been created and I can import into it
    But then I get this message: Final Cut Pro cannot save changes to projects or Events.
    Quit or continue
    I get the message : The operation couldn’t be completed. Bad address i
    when I try to create a new project. Except that after quitting and reoppening
    I don't have a projet but a folder  instead and I can't do anything with it.
    I read all the forums and did everything that was suggested
    - disconnected all external HD
    - Trashed the pref files
    - Repaired disk permissions
    - made sure I only have one copy of FCP X
    WHAT ELSE CAN I DO ?
    (using FCP 10.0.9)

    This looks like some kind of drive or permissions issue.
    If your projects are in an external drive, try checking the "Ignore ownership on this volume" box.
    Select your drive in the Finder, Cmd-I to open the Get Info window, and tick the little checkbox.

  • Error: 'bad address'

    So, I've created an iBook. Closed it. Opened it a few hours later to edit some more. Tried to save it, responding in the error:
    "The document 'xxx' couldn't be saved. Bad address."
    Now what?

    Have a look at metalink Note:395350.1
    Basically, this document describes it's a problem in DIO (direct IO), which can be tuned using vxtunefs (per filesystem).
    The document describes to enlarge the buffer bigger than the described number (which is 1MB)
    dynamically: vxtunefs -o discovered_direct_iosz=1572864 /mount/point (replace /mount/point with the oracle mount point(s))
    statically in /etc/vx/tunefstab: /dev/vx/dsk/oracle/oravol discovered_direct_iosz=1048577 (replace with your oracle filesystems)

  • Mail won't send if recipients include bad address?

    I've been having a problem sending email on occasion, and it seems to be linked to a recipient in the recipients list (To, BCC, or CC) having a bad address. Mail won't tell me which recipient is incorrect, though. I'm trying to send out an email to a mailing list that includes a number of recipients, and it's a pain trying to determine which address is incorrect. Any way to force Mail to send the message regardless? Or maybe to find out which address it's choking on?

    That doesn't help me much- I've already divided the mailing list into 9 different groups. I'm trying to minimize the amount of email going out to the recipients.
    I ended up just using my ISP's web email client to send the message to each group, and then removed the addresses for the recipients that bounced.
    I could have sworn that Mail had the same behavior in a previous version (letting me send to "bad" addresses). It would be nice to either have that behavior back, or at least have Mail tell me addesses it's choking on instead of telling me that a server isn't working...

  • Obtain IP address from Mac address

    Hi all,
    Is ARD capable of obtaining IP addresses from mac addresses?
    Please advise.

    ARD's System Overview can display IP addresses and MAC addresses for computers it manages. If you're asking whether ARD can scan a network for a particular MAC address and return the IP address for a computer that's not in ARD's list of managed computers, then no, it can't (at least not by any method I know of). ARD is really not a network scanning/management application; it's for managing Mac workstations.

  • Ioctl bad address

    hi all,
    To send data from my dummy driver to user
    i used mp->b_cont->b_wptr = "hello to user"
    mp->datap->db_cmd=IOCACK,
    qreply(q,mp);
    but the application ioctl is failing with
    bad address why?
    Although i gave enough buffer space
    to strioctl.ic_dp buffer i.e malloc(50)
    even though the data i sent is just 15 characters.
    can anybody answer me..
    if so thanks in advance
    regards
    vasu

    i tried using rptr but no use..
    here the code is in application side
    char *buf
    buf = (char*) malloc(70)
    buf="hello world"
    strioctl.ic_timeout=30
    strioctl.ic_dp=buf
    strioctl.ic_len=strlen(buf)
    ioctl(fd,I_STR,&strioctl)
    driver code
    mp->b_cont->w_ptr++="Good bye world"
    error coming is "bad address" why?
    if any one has example for sending data from driver
    to user application using I_STR ioctl please welcome.
    thanks for all who r ready to help me
    regards

  • Why does my Internet Sharing get stuck at "Obtaining IP address.."?

    So I was trying to share my laptop's internet connection with my Android phone (HTC Desire X). I enabled the checkbox for Internet Sharing in System Preferences.
    My phone detected the network. But when I tap on it, it gets stuck at "Obtaining IP address..". So, when connecting, I selected "static" as opposed DHCP and gave:
    IP: 192.168.1.1
    Gateway: 192.168.1.10
    Network prefix length: 24
    DNS 1: 8.8.8.8
    DNS 2: 8.8.4.4
    Now it got connected, but still internet is still not working in the browser. Any ideas why?

  • 674 ERROR: Message operation failed because of a bad address

    On our tuxedo server we have the following error that is repeatedly writen on its log:

    This error does not affect the Server functionality but we would like to know by what could be due:
    we have seen the error description but from this we could not find out the real causes:

    Any help is well accepted ......... thanks a lot in advance.

    Hi,
    If I had to guess, I'd say you were looking at a memory corruption problem. The error basically says that when Tuxedo tried to perform a msgrcv() operation on a System V IPC queue, the address of the buffer to receive the message wasn't valid. Although if this is really a memory corruption problem, I'm surprised your server continues to function. You might want to try a memory checking tool to see if your code is writing to memory it doesn't have allocated or writing past the ends of an allocated buffer.
