Hi. Im running QNX 6.2.1 on an old computer I had laying around. I have dsl connected through a hub to a router, so I dont need to authenticate through PPPoE since the router does that for me, I just need to activate the nic for lan since the internet is shared through the hub. According to nicinfo my network card is recognized and configured properly. When I use the configure network tool that is in the shelf by default and I attempt to configure the en0 in the Devices tab for DHCP, it comes up with an error that it cannot find the server, and when I try to set it up in the Connections tab the only options I have are modem, serial, and PPoE, none of which are what I need. I know the hub and router are working properly and all the cables are good. What am I doing wrong?
Just a guess. I was browsing through some stuff and it seems that for PPPoE you need to load the driver:

I don’t use PPPoE myself so that’s as much as I can help.
agent - can you post the output from nicinfo?
flav2000 - I dont want to use PPPoE, I just want to connect to my network via DHCP, PPPoE just happens to be the only option showing as available.
cdm: here’s my nicinfo output:

What is “pidin arg | grep io-net” ?
What does “ifconfig -a” say? Does it show “en0” interface? If so, you can try to manually start “dhcp.client”, wait for a few seconds and see if “ifconfig -a” gets the IP address.
If not, you will probably have to “slay io-net” and restart it with the proper -d option (say, io-net -dne2000 -ptcpip & ) and see…
Is this an ISA card? IF so, I suspect your trouble is an improperly configured IRQ.
slay -f io-net
io-net -d ne2000 ioport=0x300,irq=10
You need to know what the proper value for the irq option is for your system. The 10 is just an example.
