IP Address does not stay

Hi,
I have QNX RTP installed on DELL Laptop.
Just managed to get the network card that works, Linksys PCMPC200.
As I configure the network from TCP/IP configuration GUI, it can
successfully connect to the LAN and the internet, however, after each
reboot, the configuration is gone and can’t connect to the network
anymore.The setting in /etc/net.cfg is kept.
Tried both DHCP and Static IP.

Am I missing something? How can you make the network configuration stay?
Please help!

What version of OS are you running? can you post ‘uname -a’.

Thanks.

Marcin,

As I tried “uname -a” it returned the following.

QNX wteaausqnx02 6.1.0 2001/06/25 -15:31:48edt x86pc x86

Does the version of the OS matter?

Thanks a lot for your help.

Can you be more clear, is the /etc/net.cfg a “new one” or reseted to
“old/prievious” settings when you reboot your system? Are you making
the changes as root (login root) or using ‘su’?

net.cfg doesn’t get rest after the reboot.
I am doing the setting as"root".

Hi,
I have QNX RTP installed on DELL Laptop.
Just managed to get the network card that works, Linksys PCMPC200.
As I configure the network from TCP/IP configuration GUI, it can

reboot, the configuration is gone and can’t connect to the network

I have the same problem. This is what I think is happening:

I have an ISA NE2000 card, which cannot be auto-detected at boot time.
That’s
not much of a problem, I just slay io-net in /etc/rc.d/rc.local, and restart
it with the
correct parameters for the NE2000 card and everything mounts correctly. I
then
go into phlip and set all of the parameters for the card, and my network
connection
works fine.

Now, I reboot the machine. It comes back up, and sees no ethernet card
(remember, it’s not auto-detected - another mystery). Since there is no
ethernet
card in the machine in QNX’s eyes, it decides that whatever was in the
/etc/net.cfg
cannot possibly be valid, so it replaces it with a vanilla configuration.
By the time
rc.local is run, it’s already too late, as net.cfg is trash.

For what it’s worth, I have tried editing every trap file and auto-config
file that I
can find that has anything to do with NE2000, all to no avail. I am
completely
mystified as to how one is supposed to inject specific driver options into
the
startup sequence. This is one case where the catch-all rc.local just will
not
work.

I would love to hear an answer to both of these questions.

Cheers,
Andrew

Hi,

In your rc.local file try running ‘netmanager’ this will read the ‘/etc/net’cfg’ file
and apply the settings contained within.
