QNX 6.1 - Network Message Passing

I am trying to get message passing working over a local network with open()
and/or ConnectAttach(). Using ConnectAttach() (and MsgSend, MsgReceive…)
I can set up a simple server/client on one pc, but cannot get it working
over a
local network.

Here are my settings:

  • local pc = strider, IP = 192.168.2.18
  • remote pc = rivendell, IP = 192.168.2.19
  • I can ping, ssh, etc between pc’s
  • start qnet, io-net:
    io-net -p qnet mount=:,resolve=dns
  • mount command returns:
    /net/strider.myco.priv/dev/hd0t79 on / type qnx4
  • the /etc/hosts file includes:
    192.168.2.19 rivendell
    NOTE: rivendell is configured similarly

I have a /net directory (empty)

When I run sample client/server apps on one machine, everything works fine
(using ConnectAttach(), MsgSend(), …) but when I try it or the
following simple
app (from Rob Krten’s QNX Neutrino 2 book):
#include <sys/neutrino.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <sys/netmgr.h>

int main(void) {

int remote_nd; // node descriptor of target machine (rivendell)
int rivendell_nd; // rivendell’s node id for us (strider)

rivendell_nd = netmgr_strtond("/net/rivendell", NULL);
printf (“rivendell’s ND is %d\n”, rivendell_nd);

// remote_nd = netmgr_remote_nd(rivendell_nd, ND_LOCAL_NODE);
remote_nd = netmgr_remote_nd(rivendell_nd, 0);
printf(“From rivendell’s point of view, we’re ND %d\n”,
remote_nd);

return (EXIT_SUCCESS);
}
… nothing happens.
When I try the ConnectAttach() apps, nothing happens. I’ve read through
the book and the help docs, but can’t get anywhere.

Any help / ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
Ron
