Hello all,
I’m here first time and of course have question. Networking problem.
My NIC - 3Com EtherLink XL PCI Combo (3com900). After first system
start, there was en0. I configured my network and what returned ping
after pinging my network server:
ping: sendto: Host is down
ping: wrote 192.168.0.1 64 chars, ret=-1
And that’s not true because this host was running. So, i read a little
documentation and wrote the following commands:
umount /dev/io-net/en0 (ifconfig -a showed me only loopback interface)
io-net -d el900 -p tcpip (ifconfig -a showed loopback and en0
interfaces)
ifconfig en0 192.168.0.99 netmask 255.255.255.0
route add default 192.168.0.1
After this ifconfig -a printed info about correctly configured en0 - as
i wanted.
But pinging 192.168.0.1 still give me the same answer! What is wrong?
Waiting for answer
Greetings
P.S.
Sorry for my english. Please answer on newsgroup and e-mail too.

“Host is down” usually means that an arp on an IP failed - usually this
because the physical layer isn’t working properly. When you do a nicinfo,
does the MAC address etc, all check out ok? You should post the contents
of pci -vvv (just the network related section) and nicinfo output. The
hardware group may have more insight.

Here you have nicinfo output:

So, here everything is ok - i think.
And here is pci output:
PCI version = 2.10

Vendor ID = 1106h, VIA Technologies Inc
Device ID = 571h, VT82C586/686 PCI IDE Controller

PCI IO Address = ffa0h enabled
PCI Int Pin = NC
Interrupt line = no connection
[cut]
Class = Network (Ethernet)
Vendor ID = 10b7h, 3Com Corporation
Device ID = 9001h, 3C900-COMBO Fast Etherlink XL PCI Combo NIC
PCI index = 0h
PCI IO Address = d000h enabled
PCI Expansion ROM = dfff0000h disabled
PCI Int Pin = INT A
Interrupt line = 10
[cut]
So, what are you proposing? What is the explanation of my problem?
Please answer fast…

Current Physical Node ID … 006008 4939C0
Media Rate … 0 kb/s half-duplex UTP
There is your problem. Is this a 3C900 card?
Yes, it is a 3c900 card.
Just to be clear, the problem is the Media Rate being 0.
I think the same… but in documentation

I think the same… but in documentation http://support.qnx.com/support/docs/neutrino/utilities/n/nicinfo.html
is the same rereturn for media rate, and i thought that this is ok.
The example is just illustrating what the format of the data from nicinfo
would look like.
My cable is BNC. Maybe this is a problem? Do i need some “special”
configuration for that?
Try specifying the option to your driver “connector=0” to force BNC media
and perhaps turn off multicast using “multicast=0”

Actually the option is nomulticast. My feeling is that our el900 driver will
not work with your card. The 3C900 has a different physical layer interface
then the other 900 series devices.

Good point, however there is no harm in trying.

Did you get this working? Some of the 6.1 NIC drivers had problems
auto detecting the media rate – you had to hard code the media
rate on the command line. But some of the 6.1 NIC drivers didn’t
support the media rate command line arg. Quite a mess – we hope
the 6.2 drivers will be less troublesome.
You just wroted…
