Using qnet with tcp/ip

I have a question regarding qnet with qnx 6.2. The setup which I am using
has several local nodes, each running QNX, networked together. Thanks to
qnet, any of the nodes can access any of the other nodes through the /net
directory. I did not put the setup together, and I relatively unfamiliar
with qnet. My question is: can qnet run over tcp/ip? I want to try to
connect another computer in my university’s network to the nodes. If qnet
does work over tcp/ip, how would I go about setting that up? If qnet does
not work, is there another way to access files on another computer that
works better than ssh?
Thanks a lot.

Yes, QNET could run on, well, IP. All you need to do is passing
“bind=ip” to QNET when you start it.

You probably also need “resolver=dns” so that you can resolve nodes which in
not on
LAN.
