I have inherited a qnx 4 system and don¹t know much about it. I was trying
to get the network working on it and used the ³slay Net² command. The
machine now says that it can¹t find ³Net². I deleted the software from the
computer and reinstalled it, but the problem remains. If anyone knows how
to bring Net back to life and have qnx recognize an intel 82559 network
chip, please let me know.

Hi Jeff
OK. First you want to check if any net stuff is already running. The easiest way is to type:
nertinfo -l
When you do, one of three things will happen. Either:
The driver that you want to run is ‘Net.ether82557’. The latest is dated Jan 11, 2001 (which you can determine by typing ‘which -l Net.ether82557’. If you don’t have that, get it. Ther were significant bug fixes.
‘Net’ must be running before you start Net.ether82557. Also, if you slay Net you must slay any drivers that it is using (this information will come from the netinfo -l command. (BTW, you can also use ‘sin -P Net’).
So type:
slay Net.ether
slay Net
Net &
Net.ether82557 &
You should now see usful info when you type:
netinfo -l
Hope this helps.

Network Assistance Neededwith root privelege, type “Net &” to start Net in
the background. Type “ps” to make sure it is running. Type “nettrap start”
to see if qnx can autostart the driver for your network card. Networking is
usually start from a script. This script usually lives in “/etc/config” and
is called something like “netstart”. There should be an example of netstart
under “/etc/config/socket”. The file sysinit.1 is the system configuration
file and can be instructive. Change sysinit.1 at your own risk. The file
“/etc/hosts”, is where the ip address is set, among other things.

Jeff,
The QNX web site www.qnx.com has alot of documentation on starting and
stopping
network drivers, also on how to get around in QNX. As with everything else
there is
alot more too it than manually stopping and starting the network, as Doron
is pointing
out. I am assuming from your request you have no manuals on QNX4
