@Home with QNX Problem

It sounds to me like you’ve got a problem getting a DHCP addie. Call tech
support (1-888-262-6300 I think) and ask them to give you a static IP
(because your DHCP isn’t working) or ask to speak to someone on Tier 2.
Then ask the Tier 2 guy for a static IP. :slight_smile:

I think i’ve been talking about my issue in some other thread on this
newsgroup. But i’ll clarify again.
I’m a total newbie to all this stuff, but im definately trying to learn!

My prob is this. I have a cable connection (@home). I use a 3com 3c90X
Ethernet adapter and a motorola cable modem. I set the network cfg to
DHCP connect and put in the DHCP server i used in windows. Pressed
‘apply’ and ‘ok’ and it gives me an error code 2. I reboot, still no
cable. What’s odd is i cant change these settings to manual or another
DHCP value since every time it gives me the error and keeps the first
settings i set.
Another issue is the fact that my cable modem doesnt act properly in
qnx. My PC light on my modem doesn’t turn on, which probably means that
my modem doesn’t recognize my pc is on, whereas in windows it should be
on.

If anyone can help or at least gimme suggestions of things to try to get
my cable working, it’ll be great.
Thanks for the help…

I doubt its the DHCP address because it works fine under windows.

Seems as though most cables promise a great connection;
30,000 accounts later in the same area they end up subnetting through
routers with “internat” sub ip dynamic addresses, meaning
they would have to hook up a “server” to the routers and an additional hub
to manage the static IP’s, Fat chance of that happening !!!
