I have the following problem getting a two station netinfo
network going:
This setup works for me:
1> Turn on netinfo and configuration server in the following
network configuration:
T----C----T
|
|
N (netinfo server)
T: 50 ohm thin ethernet terminator
C: ethernet "T" connector
N: NeXT machine
2> I then rewire (with the n&c server still on) to get the following configuration
and power on the second machine:
T----C--------------------------C----T
| |
| |
N N
T: 50 ohm thin ethernet terminator
C: ethernet "T" connector
N: NeXT machine
This works fine, but obviously, I shouldn't have to rewire the thing.
I should be able to use the following configuration, boot up the server,
then boot up the client:
T----C--------------------------C----T
| |
| |
N (netinfo server) N (netinfo client)
T: 50 ohm thin ethernet terminator
C: ethernet "T" connector
N: NeXT machine
However, when I turn on the server, I get a "cannot find parent server" message.
Blecch.
thanks,
anwar

These two look the same to me- I must be missing something. Anyhow, did you wait a while for the server to find itself?

Thanks for all your suggestions, folks. Unfortunately, I'd considered most possibilities in the two days I was tearing out my hair. It turned out to be a faulty cable. ARGGHHH. In any case, everything is A-OK.
