I have not had this problem. Is it possible that you don't have your networking quite setup correctly? I would say that this error message is a result of trying to connect to some named computer where its requiring a dns lookup--since you're not on the network it can't resolve the name. Make sure that you have your machine setup to do hosts based resolution before dns and that your hosts file contains your machines name/ip address.

I am running OpenDX v. 4.1.0 (or 4.1.3) for RedHat Linux on a Dell 8200 Intel P4 box.

The OS is RedHat v. 7.2 (kernel 2.4.7-10).

The program runs when I my ethernet card is installed, but if the machine is off the network, I receive an error message: invalid host when I attempt to connect the dx client to the dx server.

Can anyone tell me if it is possible to run OpenDX on a machine that is not networked?

Thanks,

Jon
