Title QNX4: How to configure QNX Native Networking (FLEET)
Ref. No. QNX.000010203
Category(ies) Network
Issue The following is a procedure to setup QNX Networking.
Solution You probably first want to put all licenses on all nodes.  This can be done with the "license" utility if you have licens diskettes, or you can edit the /.licenses file and enter all your qnx... licenses.

Once this is done, you will want to assign different node numbers to each machine.  To do this, go to the /boot/build directory and find the current build file.  The default will be 'hard.1' assuming that node 1 was specified during the installation.  Edit the file and change the line that says:

Proc32 -l 1

and make the 1 some other node number.  Use 2, 3, 4 etc. up the maximum number of licenses.

You will now want to setup a netmap file. This is described in the documenation, however you basically want a file /etc/netmap that looks like this:

x091          1      00A044 5CF4F9
x092          1      008033 8c2396
x093          1      002022 1050C4

When the first field is the node number of each node, the second is the lan number and the third is the MAC(hardware) address of the network card in each machine.

Now reboot your systems and run:

Net &
Net.YOUR_DRIVER &
netmap -f

YOUR_DRIVER can be found by doing 'nettrap' to autodetect the network card.

You should now have a working QNX network where you can do 'cd //2/' or cd //3/' and
see the other nodes filesystem.
