If you arw uaing QNX6 you can change it using ‘hostname’ utility.
I think you can change it using setconf if you want to do it from code/using native qnx tools (hostname is std. unix(i think :stuck_out_tongue: )

CS_HOSTNAME.

Hi Johan n Anybody out there…

I change the hostname as “NAME”, but in pc server it appear “NAME.net.intra”.
Why is that happen…? Could we just remove .net.intra?

That’s because you don’t have “domain” setup. QNET choose a default domain “net.intra” for you.

Set the domain (on both machine) by set the CS_DOMAIN confstr (same way you set the name).

Hello everybody.

Something similar happens on my system. I’m trying to configure qnet in order to stablish a network between a host PC and an target machine with an embedded OS image (both QNX 6.3 SP3). I don’t want to have any domain (let it blank) and I use “confstr” to check the domain in both machines, having both the value “” (no value). However, one of them (embedded OS image) always start with the domain “.net.intra”.

How can I avoid this?
Is not possible to let the domain name blank?
Any suggestions?

Set a domain name for each node that matches.

I’m not sure. Xiaodan would know, but I guess I would wonder why you care? What is wrong with setting a domain name?
