Thanks for the advice.
1. it runs if I start up the dxexec 'by hand' with dx -execonly and
connect the ui to it.
2. it does not work if I choose the 'Run Visual Program' option and have
the dxui start the dxexec.
In this case the dxexec start up fine (in the Message Window I get the
'Starting DX executive .... port=1900 etc. messages) but in the terminal
window the dx prints:
DXLink Error: Connection to DX broken
Can not determine server version number!
It almost seems as if there is some timing error with dx not waiting
long enough for the dxexec to start listening on the port. Is this possible?

Standard proceedure for trouble-shooting this type of problem.
1. Start the executive from a command line with dx -execonly
2. Start the ui only from a different command line, dx -uionly.
3. Go to the Connect menu of the UI and click Connect..., push Options,
and click on "Connect to already running server"
4. Click connect.
See what happens. If this fails, then you have some type of socket
problem--like a firewall, etc. You can also try setting the environment
variable DXHOST to unix. This will force all local communication.

Hello,
I recently compiled the dx4.2.0 sources with gcc3.2 on HP11.0 but
cannot get it to work. When I e.g. from the dxui try to 'Run Visual
Programs...' it always pops up a message saying unable to connect to
dxexec. When I check the message window the dxexec does actually start:
Starting DX executive
Memory cache will use 2046 MB (126 for small iterms, 1920 for large)
port= 1900
I can e.g. do a 'telnet <machine> 1900' and connect to the dxexec but
dx can't seem to and after a while the message window displays the
message 'connection timed out' (this message I assume comes from the
dxexec)
Does anyone have experience with this?
Regards,
Mattijs
