Ok, so let me just explain now that networking is not my strong suit.
My problem is is that I cannot get my QNX box to talk to my Windows XP box. I set up the network cards as manual configurations, set the IPs as 10.0.0.1 on the QNX box, and 10.0.0.2 on the windows box, and 255.255.255.0 as the mask.
The machines are connected by two non-crossover cables plugged into a hub.
everything else works fine on the QNX box, I can access the internet via DHCP and my cable modem, but I’m trying to set it up as a gateway for a network and all the help I can find is to get QNX to talk to other machines.
Nope, ping doesn’t work, when I try to ping the windows machine from the qnx machine I get a “the ping was severed” error. Are there any settings I need to make to use the QNX box as a gateway? I am currently using the big stack, but I’m stuck as to why nothing will work.
The QNX box can see the windows box on the network, it lists it when I run netstat -r, but I still get a “the ping has been severed” error when I try to ping it. The windows box can ping itself but it just times out when I try to ping the QNX box.
The windows box is set to 10.0.0.2 with an IP mask of 255.255.0.0 and dns is currently set to 127.0.0.1
EDIT: I’m sorry it’s not a “the ping has been severed” error, it’s a “the connection has been severed” error. uhhh, my monitor is too small, yeah, that’s the problem.
