Hello everyone,
I am new to QNX and I installed it on my Windows 98 machine with all the
default settings. When QNX boots up, i login to photon and click on the
network cfg, i get the usual display saying that I can use DHCP with my
machine.
Here is my setup:
3C905B TX 10/100 PCI network card
800 Mhz PIII
32 MB graphics card and 40 Gb hard disk
The problem is that I can’t seem to connect to any other machine on my
network.
After boot up, this is what I see:
io-net -pttcpip -ppppmgr
Since I’d like to use tcpip and setup my network card, I then do this:
/bin/slay io-net
io-net -del900 -ptcpip
ifconfig en0 10.1.2.211 netmask 255.255.255.0
route add default 10.1.2.1
After this, I can’t ping any machine on the 10.1.2.* subnet.
I am using the windows installer downloaded from get.qnx.com. Any help
will be greatly appreciated. Email responses are OK at joey@cyberiqsys.com.
Thanks,
Joey Salanga

Can you show me the output from nicinfo? What kind of hub/swtich
do you have it plugged into?

The hub is just a plain old one and is the same one I use for my Windows
machine. It is connected directly to our router.

Just a plain old hub? It isn’t a swtich? Is it a 10Mbit hub or
a 100mbit hub? Right now your card thinks it is attached to a 100Mbit
full duplex switch. 
That is why it probably doesn’t work. Try
playing with the dulpex and speed command line options.
io-net -d el900 speed=10,duplex=0,verbose -p tcpip
Will force the card into a 10mbit, 1/2 duplex link (normal for 10mbit
hubs). Let me know how this goes.

Hi Chris,
I tried the io-net setting you suggested and still nothing. You also
mentioned something about the switch/hub connection. Is there a problem if
indeed the box I am connected to is a switch?
How should I configure my box then if it is a switch?
Btw, when I run the io-net command, it did set the conf to 10 Mbps and 1/2
duplex and set the link to down and then up.
Rgds,
Joey

If it is a switch is it a 100Mbit switch or a 10Mbit switch? If it is
a 100Mbit switch then the default connection is correct. If it is a 10mbit
switch then you pass in duplex=1 instead of duplex=0. Also, can you tell
me the brand name on your card? If you could open your PC up and post the
model number and such that would be great.

We had trouble with the 3C905B on QNX4.25A. I haven’t read the thread here so
forgive if I am get this wrong. But I think you may want to move to the 3C905C
card. It has a completely different chipset from the previous two boards in
this line, and QNX425C did finally get working with that version of the card,
according to threads I have read. We switched to th US$29 Bay Network Netgear
FA310TX and it works great for us. I think I read that this company was bought
by 3COM, so if you have a requirement to stay with 3COM this could meet it.

Chris,
It is a 3Com 3C905B Fast Etherlink XL card. I tried both the 10 Mbps
and the 100Mbps setting. I honestly think that that is not the problem but
then again I am new to this so what do I know.

Btw, it is a Cisco 100 Mbps switch that is directly connected to the router.

I will try this exact card with my DLINK 100Mbit switch tomorrow and I will
see if I can get the same results.
