Subject: I really need some help here
Date: October 30, 2001 10:46 PM
Ok first let me say I’m really new to the world of QNX and I primarly
live in a Windows and Apple world. Well I need to venture here now…
I grabbed the RTP of QNX and loadded it on to my AMD1.2 Ghz Athlon
with 256Mb Ram, Gave it 800Mb of space to play in and have a GForce
2Mx 400 w/64Mb Ram Video card and a Fortizimo Suround Sound card and a
D-Link DFE-538TX/R Nic. Now here are the questions that the answers to
can possibly make my life great…
1.) How do I setup the Nic to connect and share files on my Windows Me
based lan?
2.) How do I connect as a client to a windows Me box running ICS so
the QNX box can surf the internet?
3.) How do I get QNX to see my sound card, it can emulate an SB card
but Currently I have no sound in QNX.
Oh yea all cards are PCI Except for the video it’s AGP and QNX sees it
as a TNT card…
Any help would be hot…

Richard Morton
Perplexed but keen supporter of QNX…
1.) How do I setup the Nic to connect and share files on my Windows Me
based lan?
If you have a DHCP server then you ‘should’ be able to use the Network
button to setup RTP to use it. I use RTP on a Win98/2k/NT network with
a NT server as the DHCP server which points the DHCP clients to the
Linux gateway and Linux DNS servers. For file sharing I used the latest
version of Samba. After some minor changes in a couple source files it
compiles and is running fine and ‘browsable’ from network neighborhood
on my W2k system.
2.) How do I connect as a client to a windows Me box running ICS so
the QNX box can surf the internet?
I’m not familiar with ICS but it sounds like it provides a gateway for other
machines on the network to ‘get out’ from. Simply tell RTP the same
info. If it requires some software on the client machine (to logon to ICS
or something) then your hosed…
Setup a linux box as your link to the Internet. Much better then
WinF$%^ME…
3.) How do I get QNX to see my sound card, it can emulate an SB card
but Currently I have no sound in QNX.
Try this question in another newsgroup. Most likely *.installation

I have a GForce2 also and it treats it like a TNT. It works but some of the
video is flaky on occasions. I would check the supported hardware list
for video cards since QSSL isn’t really advancing the support for NVidia.
Thanks lee for the pointers and fyi ICS is windows native Internet
Connection Sharing thingy and can find no documentation to date on how it
works client side will look into doing the linux gateway… what about
doing same with qnx would that not be better?

If memory serves my right, that ICS windows thingy worked with QNX6
(though DHCP). I didn’t have anything special to do in QNX6 it
worked right out of the box.

I’m sure QNX could do the same job as Linux as far as gateway and
whatnot but to be ‘legal’ you would need to pay for that license since
a QNX RTP box serving as a gateway for your company would not
be a ‘non-commercial’ use. Plus, there is tons of info and software
available to setup Linux for that job right out of the box. RTP is
almost there but not quite…
