Configuring system to work on a network

I am new to QNX and have the following problem. I inherited a QNX 4.24
system. I installed a Kingston KNE20T ethernet adaptor that I’m told will
run using the Net.ether1000 driver. The problem is this:

Net &
Net.ether1000 -p 300 -i 3 &

the net.ether process runs for a brief time then finishes so I can’t start
the Socket driver. If I boot the system with a dos disk and run the
kingston flash utility, i get IO address 300 and IRQ 3, does anyone have any
suggestions as to how I can get my computer onto the network? also, if I
use the hostname utility “hostname” - i get the following message:
“gethostname: no such process”

Am i failing to start something up?

Thanks in Advance,

IRQ 3 is very often a bad IRQ as it conflict with serial COM4.

Is that card ISA or PCI?

Try to start Net.ether1000 with -v argument it should provide more
information as to what is going on.

Am i failing to start something up?
