As a side note... The netmanager source is available on the Foundry at
http://community.qnx.com/integration/viewcvs/viewcvs.cgi/trunk/utils/n/n
etmanager/?root=core_networking&system=exsy1001

So even though it's an undocumented interface (and one that I personally
find rather ummm... unpleasant (that's the purist in me speaking)), you
can figure it all out from there anyway.

There are three sections

1) version: The v1.2 and earlier are supported currently. 
	"version v1.2" 
2) globles: start with [globe]
   For example,
       [global]
        route 1.2.3.4 0.0.0.0
   So, in above, the default gateway is 1.2.3.4 (because the mask is
0.0.0.0)
3) interface: start with [your_nic_name]
   For example,
	 [en0]
       type ethernet 
       manual_ip 1.2.3.5
   So, the en0 is a wired ethernet card. We want it be manually
configured to ip address of 1.2.3.5.

So the above you have the following in your net.cfg

version v1.2
[global]
Route 1.2.3.4 0.0.0.0
[en0]
type ethernet
manual_ip 1.2.3.5

You may check the code under utils/n/netmanager/ for details. 

Thanks

I need to set the default gateway in my net.cfg file.  I am not using
Photon so I have been manually editing the file.

I haven't found any documentation on this file but have been able to get
things working, just need the default gateway at this point.

Does anyone know what the syntax is for that?

Thanx
Tim

Thanx.

If you set things up without netmanager, does it work?    What does
"route show" give you?

There's also a little bit of me that's curious as to why you'd want to
use netmanager.  It's really a configuration tool that allows phlip (the
photon network configuration tool) to maintain state.  All of this
information is easily configured through the command line (and in an
easier manner than going through netmanager)...

Interestingly I tried the route option but it doesn't seem to work.  If
I set up the intereface as DHCP it works.  It doesn't seem to want to
route correctly when set manually.

the 192.168.76.1 device is a router.  from another machine (running
linux) 192.168.76.3 I can successfully route to 192.168.0.2, but from
the qnx box I can't route.

Here is my file
# nto network config file v1.2
version v1.2

[global]
hostname cadrepc
domain deltacompsys.com
nameserver 192.168.0.2
nameserver 192.168.0.1
route 192.168.76.1 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0

[en0]
type ethernet
mode manual
manual_ip 192.168.76.2
manual_netmask 255.255.255.0

[en1]
type ethernet
mode manual
manual_ip 192.168.75.100
manual_netmask 255.255.255.0 

any thoughts?
