network problems revisited

Thanks for your help HSA, I checked on the web page and my card is
supported(Xircom RealPort something or other)

Could you go into more details about how I start the driver up manually w/
ioport ? Or, some refrence I could use(I’ve recently converted from freeBSD
to QNX, so im not sure if there is a “man” equivalent in QNX) Also, could
you tell me ohw to startup/config tcp/ip stack?

Thanks a lot for your help,
Derek Haas


Hi Derek,

Basicly, you have to make certain that the PCCard is seen by the
system (use the ‘pin’ utility). This utility will yield information
that you will need to know about the card (i.e. IO port, IRQ…)
Once you know this, you will then start the driver up manually using
the ioport and irq for the card that you got from ‘pin’. You would
then startup and config your tcp/ip stack.

However before you do this, check to make certain that your card is
supported on the supported hardware page:

http://qdn.qnx.com/support/hardware/index.html

Take care.

Erick.

on
a laptop and desktop. The network cards are: desktop is a PCI, laptop is
PCMCIA. The laptops network card IS NOT recognized by the OS
automagically(I just realized that) - the PCI one is. I have a crossover
cable connecting the two computers. Could someone just guide me through
the
process, from the beginning, of what I need to do to have the network
working properly so I can share files and what not.

isnt
working, and there is nothing in the folder

Hi Derek,

‘man’ pages for QNX are actually viewed by the 'use ’ utility.
There is also the help docs that can be viewed in Photon.

So depending on what the supported hardware page said on the driver you
should use, will determine what part of the docs you should look
in.

Here is a quick link to the help docs on the web (they are the same as
on your system):

http://qdn.qnx.com/support/docs/neutrino_2.11_en/index.html

Follow the link for ‘Utilities’ then look under ‘D’, then find the driver
that the supported hardware page tells you to use.

As for TCP/IP, use the Network config util in Photon to set it up. Its
very easy to use.

Best of luck!

Erick.
