Fail to establish PPP connection between Nutrino and Windows  
Hi,

I try to set up a PPP connection between Nutrono and windows, I follow the steps in the link below:

http://www.qnx.com/developers/docs/6.3.0SP3/ide_en/user_guide/target.html

Also briefing here the steps:
1) Connect a serial cable between them, use COM1 for both.
2) On the Nutrino machine:
    a. Create a /etc/ppp/options file containing the following: 
       debug
       57600
       /dev/ser1
       10.0.0.1:10.0.0.0
    b. run 
        io-net -ptcpip -ppppmgr
    c. run
        pppd

3) On Windows machine
    a. In the Control Panel window, select Network Connections. 
    b. In the New Connection Wizard dialog, click Set up an advanced connection, then click Next
    c. Select Connect directly to another computer, then click Next. 
    d. When prompted for the role of your target, choose Guest.
    e. Name your connection (e.g. "ppp_biscayne").    
    f. When prompted to select a device, choose Communications Port (COM1), then click Next. 
       When prompted to specify whether you want this connection to 
           be for your use only, or for anyone's, select Anyone's use. 
       If you want Windows to create a desktop shortcut, click the  
           option on the last page of the wizard. If not, simply click Finish. 
    g. In the Connect name_of_target dialog, enter your user ID and  
           password, the select Properties.  
           Select the Options tab. 
          Turn off the option Prompt for name and password, certificate, etc., then click OK

When you connect through the PPP link on Windows, it can not get connected.  Since, I don't know what's the user name, 
and password. I simply leave them empty.

Question is:
    Any steps missing in order to get this working?

Thanks a lot
Weiming
