Networking...

Hello all,

I have installed QNX RTP with no problems. But, now I am trying to
configure two network cards (3COM 905, and a Realtek clone 8139). I’ve set
the IP addresses for each, but am not getting anywhere as far as outward
traffic. I can’t PING anybody on either network.

Am I just missing something simple? Help!

TIA,

Kit

Hello all,

Hi, Did you set up the route and other stuff. If you have a dhcp did you

setup the dhcp server?

the commands which i use are

ifconfig en0 <ip_address> netmask 255.255.255.0
route add default

the same for en1 also.

if you have dhcp you should start dhcp.client.

Yes, I have tried setting up the network and routes both manually and using
phlip or whatever the QNX shelf tool is called…I can’t remember.

No DHCP in my configuration.

It is rather boggling…and the PING report is strange too. It reports that
the “host is down”.

Well, as I have time I may remove one of the cards and start troubleshooting
in that direction…

Cheers.

that
the “host is down”.

“host is down” tends to indicate a more lower level problem. The arp’ing of
the IP isn’t working. Perhaps a packet sniffer on the network and a quick
check of the arp tables (arp -a) should start helping you.
