I just started working with QNX systems at my job. We have several QNX4
machines networked, and the system was simple to learn. Now we are trying
to change over to Neutrino, and I need simple step-by-step instructions for
setting up a network with Neutrino – something like Chapter 6 in the book
QNX OS Installation and Configuration. Where can I find that?
Also, is it possible to put the Neutrino machines on the same network with
the QNX4?

Look for documentation about QNET.

the QNX4?
Yes, but they can only talk to each other via TCP/IP

Is there any real documentation on QNET?? I have been looking, and I have
found a lot of lists of command definitions, but no hint about how to apply
the stuff. Every document I can find assumes that you already know the
context. I don’t want to write my own code yet, I just want to get the
computers to see each other. Where do you find the basics?

Yes there is. If you take the time to read through most of the documention
(architecture mostly) you should find everything you need to get an
understanding of the basics. Once that’s done you will be able to
get going.
But basicly assuming you have networking going you do
mount -Tio-net -obind-ether npm-qnet.so on each
machine and that should be it. Each machine resource should be
in /net directory!

I believe this is a typo, it should say “-obind=ether”

Yes, it was all there the whole time, like manually reading a million lines
of C code searching for three unknown errors. You know it’s there
someplace, but that doesn’t help.
Actually, the mount command was one of the first dozen things I tried, but
it didn’t work and there were so many possibilities I didn’t know it should
have worked. I tried again after your last post, and the -obind-ether tag
messed it up, but then I found directions at
http://staff.qnx.com/~docs/wip.html
I don’t know if that’s new or if I’m just blind, but it would have been much
easier if I had started there. For anyone else just getting started that’s
where the clear documentation is. Thanks again.

That document is a work-in-progress version of the QNX 6 System Administration
guide. It still needs a lot of work, but it has some useful stuff in it
already. Feedback on the book is most welcome.
