Hi everyone,

I am an @home customer, and would like to know how I get the web to

I have 2 realtek lan cards - RTL 8029 PCI which are NE2000 compatible
(the literature says so) : 1 for the internet and 1 lan connection for
my other computer
—> are these lan cards usable with QNX ? (QNX has NE2000 support and
the computer boots and recognizes both these cards

Cool. I am also a Rogers @home customer in Ottawa.

I have 2 realtek lan cards - RTL 8029 PCI which are NE2000 compatible
(the literature says so) : 1 for the internet and 1 lan connection for
my other computer

Cool… I have the exact same card, but I only have one of them.

Yes.

Someone else will have to tell you how to make it work with two cards,
but I thought you’d like to know that the ethernet cards do work with
@home here in the Ottawa area.

You could try doing `cat /proc/ipstats’ to see if packets are flowing and
if the DHCP server responded with an IP address.

You also want to make sure the DHCP ID you give the network config
utility is exactly the same as what Rogers gave you (i.e. cr676723-a)

Sorry about the delay I was out of town for a few days. Can you suggest who
would be able to help?

-`cat /proc/ipstats’ to see if packets are flowing and
if the DHCP server responded with an IP address.
I’ve got a file of qnx commands that I’m attaching to this file (in qnx
format). I am also attaching a file of the way Windows sees the setup which
btw works. I hope you can put this in front of somebody that knows networks
at QNX.

-You also want to make sure the DHCP ID you give the network config

I had to change my computer name from cr19474_a to cr19474-a ! I am really
not up to par with network cards and their installation.
BTW I put in the phlip → network “gateway” value which I think is
24.112.88.1 and it disappears when I press apply ! I don’t think this is
supposed to happen.

Thanks for your help ! I am sure that it would be a simple thing for a person
who knows network cards - even if he says that it can’t be done with the
equipment as it stands.

Try only using dhcp on the card connected to @home. Use manual
(static) configuration on the internal one.

Sean,
Thanks for helping. I’m sure that I’ve tried that with no luck, … and
everything else. I think that I’ve messed up everything that I need some help
in setting it right from the start. I can’t tell how to refer to the card
connected to @home, although I’ve tried the “hit and miss” method. I’m afraid
that my “miss” method has been a lot stronger !! Thanks again for helping. I
really appreciate it.

Marty H.
PS here is my configuration :

% version v1.2

% [global]
% hostname CR19474-A
% domain WAVE.HOME.COM
% nameserver 24.2.9.33
% nameserver 24.2.9.34

% type ethernet
% mode dhcp
% dhcp_id CR19474-A
