i cant connect setup my network.
I have 2 computers, one (Mandrake 9.1) is a gateway with Shorewall, the other is QNX 6.1.
the default gw is set up as 192.168.1.1
qnx is 192.168.1.2
route is added
ifconfig en0 is up and setup
resolv.conf is set up for dns
QNX : ping 192.168.1.2 is OK
QNX : ping 192.168.1.1 says HOST IS DOWN
Mandrake 9.1 : ping 192.168.1.1 is OK
Mandrake 9.1 : ping 192.168.1.2 HOST IS UNREACHABLE
Please Help me
NIC driver does not working properly, or maybe wrong netmask.
Use “ifconfig” on both QNX & Mandrake to make sure netmask is
matching. Use “nicinfo” on QNX to see if nic driver working properly.
ifconfig on Mandrake 9.1 :
inet adr 192.168.1.1
Bcast 192.168.1.255
Masque 255.255.255.0
ifconfig -A en0 on QNX 6.1 :
inet 192.168.1.2
net mask 0xffffff00
broadcast 192.168.1.255
nicinfo on QNX: seems correct (what is the essential information ?)
The PC with QNX has others OS :
Windows 98
BeOS
Mandrake 9.0
With these OS : network and internet connexion are OK.
Thank you for your Help

Can’t see anything is wrong. The Tx number on Nicinfo showes 0
may be a problem.
If you do several ping, does the Tx number growing ?
Initial values of nicinfo before ping :
Total packets Txd OK 0
Total packets Rxd OK 1
Total bytes Txd 0
ping 192.168.1.1
11 packets transmitted 100% loss
nicinfo
Total packets Txd OK 5

ping 192.168.1.1
8 packets transmitted 100% loss
nicinfo

Total packets Rxd OK 18

ping 192.168.1.1
8 packets transmitted 100% loss
nicinfo
Total packets Txd OK 15
Total packets Rxd OK 24

and so on
Thank very much for your help
BIOS of the PC with QNX 6.1
port serie 1 COM 1 IRQ 4
port serie 2 COM 2 IRQ 3
I have disabled port serie 2, and all work fine:
ping , internet connexion via the gateway 192.168.1.1 (Mandrake 9.1).
Good bye and thank you.
