Problems with modem connection and navigation.

Dear news,
I’m a new user of QNX, and I just tried to dial up and upgrade software of
QNX Realtime Platform but I found two problems:

  • when I dial up, the modem (U.S. Robotics 56K faxmodem) tells me “Peer
    rejected all our DNS requests” and “Connection Estabilished”.
    What means Peer rejected…?
    And with the tense Connection Estabilished is the modem connected so?
  • when I try to upgrade the software, a message comes out telling “Host
    couldn’t be found” and all web pages I try to enter is a failure coming out
    that message.
    Someone is so polite to help me?
    Otherwise I’m not able to navigate and specially upgrading QNX’s software!
    Thanks a lot.
    Marco.

That is telling you your ISP is not willing to tell you his DNS server
address though ppp. This kind of ISP usually tell you that you should
setup DNS manually.

The “rejection of DNS request” is not a fatal failure, so ppp still
going on and connect the newwork for you (established).

And with the tense Connection Estabilished is the modem connected so?

That is because you don’t have a DNS server, there is no way to
convert a name into a IP address. Check your ISP, found the DNS
address, set it with “Network Cfg” (Network tag, Default Gateway)

This doesn’t sound like your modem, but rather your TCP/IP setup. The
DNS server you are using doesn’t like you, for whatever reason. It
could be expecting your computer to respond to an ident message, who
knows. Try this - after the modem has connected to your ISP, try to
do:

$ ping 24.2.9.33

That’s a DNS server in the US, used by the @home network. If that
works, then try to edit /etc/resolv.conf while you are still
connected, and change it to contain only 2 lines:

nameserver 24.2.9.33
nameserver 24.2.9.35

Now try to ping qnx.com:

$ ping qnx.com

If that works, try running the package manager now.

Good luck,
Andrew
