Setting-up TCP-IP

HI everyone,
I installed QNX but cant seem to ping it from from another PC-timed out
error.( surprinsingly,I can ping from the QNX )

How do you configure QNX to allow connnections to the outside ?

Dave- you mentioned something about ifconfig. I dont think i have an
interface set-up correctly. How do i do that?

Thanks
-Teddy

ifconfig or ifconfig -a should display all the information
for your network interfaces. You can also do nicinfo to verify that your
network card is in fact, recognized properly. Finally, you can use
netstat -rn to check your routing tables (or login as root and use phlip to
configure your network).

OK,

ifconfig -a gives:
lo0: flags=8009<UP,LOOPBACK,MULTICAST> mtu 32976
inet 127.0.0.1 netmask 0xff000000

It looks like I have only one interface defined. I tried to define another
interface
by typing:

ifconfig en0 netmask

but i get this error message:
ifconfig: SIOCGIFFLAGS en0: No such device or address

How do I define a new interface?

Also,

nicinfo
gives:

nicinfo: Could not open /dev/io-net/en0, (No such file or directory)


help…

The driver defines the ethernet interface (en0 in this case).

nicinfo
gives:
nicinfo: Could not open /dev/io-net/en0, (No such file or directory)

This indicates that the driver wasn’t started, or didn’t recognize your NIC
card. The hardware group would be able to help you if your Nic card is
supported (see qdn.qnx.com for a list of supported hardware).
