Ad hoc configuration under QNX621   
I tend to construct an ad hoc among several laptops with QNX 621 and Windows Xp.

For a test, i used 2 laptops with Window Xp and QNX 621 respectively.

First, i configured the adhoc mode in Xp, it should be okay. Second, i tried to set the adhoc mode under QNX 621 in the 
following way:

#io-net -d orinoco channel=11,mode=adhoc,network=*** -p tcpip
#dhcp.client en0
#nicinfo
...
Total Packets Txd OK---------------2
Total Packets Txd Bad---------------0
Total Packets Rxd OK--------------4
Total Rx Errors-----------------------0
BSS Type--------Non-standard AdHoc
....


And the 2 laptops couldnt connet each other. 
Thx for specifying the reasons.

Re: Ad hoc configuration under QNX621   
I would bet no one in your adhoc network is servicing dhcp (running dhcp server).

Try manully set the ip address on windows and qnx. The other choice I can think of, is running "autoip" on qnx (nfm-
autoip.so), but I am not sure if it is available on 6.2.1

Re: Ad hoc configuration under QNX621   
thx,
i set the Xp as follows:
IP: 192.168.10.1;
Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
DNS Server: 192.168.10.1

The QNX 621 as follows:
IP: 192.168.10.2
Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
DNS Server: 192.168.10.1

If the 2 laptops can work in adhoc properly, then at this time the 2 should have connected the ssid network i specified.
 Is that right?

But,the 2 still cannot connect each other. Previously I wanna realize the adhoc btw 2 laptops with both XP, the 2 
laptops could connect to the SSID i specified but couldnot ping each other.

And QNX 621 didnot have the .so u suggested under /lib/dll.

I once learned from the web that there is a bug with the orinoco driver for the adhoc mode. Is it true or not?

Any advice? Thx

Hi Alex:
   Just for future reference, this should really be posted under the "drivers" forums since it relates to a specific 
network card.  In any case, I just checked our internal database and found a reference to PR 14603 which states"

"The QNX ORiNOCO wireless network card drvier (devn-orinoco.so) can not
communicate in adhoc mode between Windows and QNX platform. 

It works correctly between same platforms, such as Windows and Windows, QNX and QNX. But it does not work between 
Windows and QNX."

What's the date on your binary?  It looks like the fix was made for a specific customer and very likely not generally 
released (the fix was made in February of 2003).

    Robert.

Oops...  Let me retract the "not released" statement.  Looks like it was included in the 6.2.1B release.

Re: Ad hoc configuration under QNX621   
Thx for ur reference, Robert :)

i just got a reply from the guy who once met the same problem with me. As u said, it could work properly among QNX 621 
machines, but not among QNX 621 and WinXP. 

He also suggested using the driver in QNX 6.3 if i want the Orinoco card to work among different OS machines. Then can i
 download it? and where?

Rgds,
Alex

Re: Ad hoc configuration under QNX621   
Hi Alex:
You can download the Momentics 6.3.2 development suite which will have the 6.3.0 version of the orinoco driver, but I 
don't think that the 6.3.0 version of the driver is compatible with 6.2.1.  I seem to remember that there were structure
 differences between the two versions.    

Have you checked to see if 6.2.1B has a newer version of the driver? 

It may also be worthwhile asking this question in the Drivers forum.  That forum is being monitored by someone who has a
 longer reach into the past than me :>.
    Robert.
