Hello all-
I have a sort of unusual circumstance. I have a system with QNX 4.25 +
TCPIP 5.0 which is assigned
IP address: 10.2.8.100
Subnet mask: 255.255.0.0
This QNX machine talks to many other devices on the subnet as well as to the
internet. This address cannot change.
I need to attach a device to my same subnet with a non-changable address of:
IP address: 192.168.1.10
Subnet mask: 0.0.0.0
Is there a way to add a route to my QNX machine so that it knows that it can
talk directly to 192.168.1.10?
Thanks for suggestions.

That does not look like a valid subnet mask. Are you sure about that value?

The way I would do this is just to add an alias to your existing interface.
Something like:
ifconfig en1 alias 192.168.1.11
Hope this helps,

Thanks. It worked perfectly.
BTW, Subnet mask 0.0.0.0 says all IP addresses are available on the subnet.
