Setting up a Connection

This chapter shows you how to set up different types of connections to the Internet and how to do a basic and advanced setup of the dialer, including creating and using the login script. Topics include:

To run a socket

Setting up an http proxy server, socks host connection, to start the dialer, typical isp setup, tcp/ip settings, modem settings, login script, script editor.

Before you run Voyager you need to set up a connection to the Internet or an Intranet. There are many different ways to get connected, including:

QNX network connection

Proxy server connection.

  • Dialup connection.

If you have a network connection to the Internet, you can point Voyager at a node running Socket (or Socklet ) that has access to the Internet. This is done by setting the SOCK environment variable to the appropriate node number ( node_ID ) before starting Voyager.

At the QNX prompt (or in a pterm ) type:

export SOCK= node_ID voyager &

SOCK= node_ID voyager &

Using a proxy server to connect to the Internet is a popular method due to the increased need for security with the direct connection method. Before configuring Voyager to use a proxy server, you need to know the IP address and port number of each proxy server you'll be using. As a minimum, you need the IP address and port of an HTTP proxy server.

For example, to set up the HTTP proxy server:

  • Bring up the WWW Configuration dialog. Click the Options menu, then click Configuration.
  • Click the Connection tab.
  • Click Use Proxy Server. This lets you enter information in the proxy server fields.
  • In the HTTP Proxy field, type the IP address of the HTTP proxy server and its Port number in the adjacent field.
  • If you have additional proxy servers or have a proxy server that supports multiple protocols (e.g. FTP) continue to fill in the rest of the fields as required.
  • In the Proxy Overrides field, specify the IP addresses of host computers that are part of an Intranet and that shouldn't go through the proxy server. Separate the hosts with commas. Wildcards are supported.
  • Click Apply and Ok.

If the HTTP proxy server is running and accessible, you should now be able to browse the Internet.

To use a SOCKS host, you'll need the IP address and port number (usually 1080) of the SOCKS host. Use the procedure just described for setting up an HTTP proxy server and fill in the SOCKS Host field. For further information, see the appendix on "SOCKS" in the TCP/IP Programmer's Guide and the socks.conf man page in the TCP/IP User's Guide .

Dialup connection

If you don't have a direct connection to the Internet, you need to establish your connection using the Internet Dial-up Connector. With this dialer, you can set up and make a connection to your ISP. The dialer supports login scripts and basic TCP/IP configurations to automate your connection.

Open a pterm and type:

dialer &

The first time you run the dialer, it prompts you to set up a new ISP :

If an ISP has already been set up, then the dialer window appears:

Internet Dial-up Connector

To set up an ISP

In the ISP Setup dialog:

  • Give the ISP a descriptive name.
  • Type the Name Server Address (provided by your ISP).
  • Type the Phone No. (e.g. 9,123-4567 or 1234567 ).
  • Click Modem Settings and make sure the values are correct (e.g. device, baud rate, etc.).
  • If your ISP uses a simple username and password to establish a PPP connection, leave the Login Script field blank.
  • Type the User Name.
  • Optional : Type a Password. If you leave this field blank, you'll have to type the password each time you connect to the ISP.

If you need to do only a typical ISP setup and pppd is running, you should now be able to browse the Internet. If the pppd program isn't already installed and configured, see your TCP/IP User's Guide ("Setting up QNX PPP" section in the Configuration chapter and the pppd man page) .

Advanced ISP setup

The typical ISP setup just described works for most cases. If you can't make a connection with the typical ISP setup, you may need to change the default TCP/IP and modem settings and to create a login script.

There are two TCP/IP settings:

Example: 204.34.53.1

Example: 204.34.53.34

In the Device (Port) field, type the pathname of the port your modem is using. The Initialization String and Baud Rate fields normally don't need to be changed. The Initialization String is ATZ by default.

The dialer has a builtin login script that does the following:

  • Wait for a login prompt from your ISP and then issue your username.
  • Wait for a password prompt from your ISP and then issue your password.

If your login process is different, you'll need to create a login script . For example, suppose your ISP has a two-level login process. You could create a login script that looks like this:

To use the default script

To create a login script.

  • Go to the ISP Setup dialog.
  • Type a meaningful name in the Login Script field. Don't use connection as the login script name. This file contains your ISP setup.
  • Click Edit Script. The Script editor displays a login script.
  • Click Done when you're finished. This creates a login script file.

Here's the Script editor displaying the default login script:

Script Editor

To edit a row

  • Click a row.
  • Tab to a field in the row at the bottom of the Script editor and type in your change.
  • Click Modify. If you don't, the changes to a row won't be saved.
  • Click Done when you're finished editing to save all your changes.

Login script elements

Patterns use these special characters:

For example, *\** will match any line of characters containing an asterisk.

Reply character sequences

Here are the special character sequences that can be used in a reply:

Configure network interface parameters

Description:

The ifconfig utility is used to assign an address and/or configure parameters for a network interface. This utility must be run at boot time to define the network address of each interface present on a machine; it may also be run later on to redefine an interface's address or to configure other interface parameters.

When no optional parameters are specified, The ifconfig utility displays the current configuration for a network interface. If a protocol family is specified, it will report only the details specific to that protocol family.

Note that only a superuser may modify the configuration of a network interface.

You may set the following parameters with the ifconfig utility:

  • includes the network part of the local address and the subnet part, which is taken from the host field of the address
  • can be specified as a single hex number with a leading 0x , with a dot-notation Internet address, or with a pseudo-network name listed in the network table, networks(5)
  • contains 1's for the bit positions in the 32-bit address that are to be used for the network and the subnet parts, and 0's for the host part
  • should contain at least the standard network portion; the subnet field should be contiguous with the network portion.

For "inet" and "inet6" addresses, the netmask can also be given with slash-notation after the address (e.g. 192.168.17.3/24 ).

Diagnostics

Depending on the error, the utility may display messages indicating:

  • the specified interface doesn't exist
  • the requested address is unknown
  • the user isn't privileged and tried to alter an interface's configuration.

Welcome to TCP/IP for QNX

Welcome to TCP/IP for QNX! This chapter covers the following topics:

What is a network?

Why tcp/ip, the book on tcp/ip network administration, qnx and tcp/ip - two different network models, about hosts and gateways, clients and servers, planning your network.

A network is a series of interconnected computers. Every network involves two fundamental connection ``layers'':

  • the hardware or physical layer
  • the software or logical layer

Admittedly, this is a bit of an oversimplification - some data communications models (e.g. the OSI Reference Model) describe as many as seven layers within a network. But for our purposes here, the main distinction between hardware and software layers will suffice.

In order to communicate, both the hardware and software layers of a network must use the same ``language'' or protocol . And each computer on a network must have a unique ``name'' or address .

A QNX network natively supports a variety of network hardware (e.g. Arcnet, Ethernet, Token Ring, FDDI, etc.). Whatever the type of hardware, a QNX network communicates via the FLEET protocol. Although FLEET is fast, reliable, and transparent, this protocol has one major disadvantage - it's proprietary. Using FLEET alone, a QNX network is ``closed'' and can't communicate to non-QNX networks.

The TCP/IP protocols enable computers to share computing resources through multiple networks. Implemented on many operating systems, over a variety of network media, these widely accepted protocols have become a de facto standard.

Regardless of the platform, a system that supports TCP/IP can access resources located on any other system that supports TCP/IP. With appropriate configuration, this access can be to distant sites or simply to the computer on your neighbor's desk.

Over the years, many popular TCP/IP services have evolved, such as file transfer, remote login capability, and electronic mail. You can install all of these services on QNX.

For all its benefits, TCP/IP requires skillful configuration. Fortunately, because TCP/IP networking has become so popular, many books have been written on the subject. We've found that Craig Hunt's TCP/IP Network Administration provides a clear description of the current state of TCP/IP, and we've included it as part of the documentation set for TCP/IP for QNX.

For the most part, you can rely on TCP/IP Network Administration to understand what's involved in using TCP/IP. Where the QNX implementation differs from the one described in that book, alternative approaches are outlined in this guide.

The networking model used by TCP/IP differs from the inherent networking model of QNX. But as you'll see, these networking models can coexist with each other - even on the same cable.

Note that if you're familiar with traditional QNX networking, this guide will help you configure TCP/IP on your existing networks. If you're familiar with TCP/IP in other environments, this guide will help you identify those issues that are unique to the QNX implementation of TCP/IP.

QNX networking

QNX's inherent network support implements a local area network that's optimized to provide a fast, seamless interface between QNX workstations. We refer to computers connected with this form of network simply as a QNX network .

QNX workstations on a QNX network.

In a QNX network, a program can transparently access any resource - whether it's a file, a device, or a process - on any other node in the network. A program can also transparently execute on other nodes. Nevertheless, a QNX workstation can communicate only with computers that are running QNX and that are directly connected to the workstation.

For information on configuring a QNX network, see the QNX Installation & Configuration guide.

TCP/IP networking

TCP/IP can send information across multiple intermediate hops to reach its destination - TCP/IP isn't limited to local area networks. These hops can span many physical networks, wide or local area.

Hosts and gateways

In TCP/IP terminology, we always refer to network-accessible computers as hosts . There's a distinction between a regular host and a special form of host called a gateway :

  • Host - a node running TCP/IP that doesn't forward IP packets to other TCP/IP networks. A host usually has a single IP ( I nternet P rotocol) address associated with it.
  • Gateway - a node running TCP/IP that does forward IP packets to other TCP/IP networks. A gateway always has more than one ``physical'' interface to different networks and has an IP address for each interface.

In general, people refer to a computer running TCP/IP software as a host, with the understanding that a gateway is equally capable of any operation that can be performed by a regular host.

The steps you need to follow to configure a computer to be a host or gateway are described in Chapter 2, Basic Configuration .

Clients and servers

There are actually two types of TCP/IP hosts: clients and servers . Simply put, a client is the host requesting a TCP/IP service; the server is the host providing that service.

As you'll see in Chapter 2, servers need to run daemon processes in order to respond to clients' requests. Therefore, it's advisable to determine during the planning stage which of your computers will provide services (servers) and which will consume those services (clients).

The next section gives some examples to help you decide on your network layout.

Before you start to configure your network, you should plan what you want to accomplish. In particular, you should determine:

  • which computers will be servers and which will be clients (or both)
  • whether any gateway computers are needed (to access other TCP/IP networks)
  • how your TCP/IP network may be combined with a QNX network
  • what the media requirements for your site will be

The following examples let you see at a glance the different approaches you can take. While these examples don't imply any client or server capabilities, they do show how you could set up your site. You'll know how you should distribute your server computers once you've decided on a layout for your network.

Single QNX TCP/IP host

In the following example, there's no QNX network. You simply have a QNX TCP/IP host coexisting on the same media with other hosts that may or may not be running QNX.

A single QNX TCP/IP host.

QNX network and TCP/IP hosts

In the following example, a QNX network and a TCP/IP network share a common Ethernet.

A QNX network and a TCP/IP network share a common Ethernet.

In this example, any workstation or terminal on the QNX network could access the TCP/IP network through the QNX workstation that's also a TCP/IP host. For example, if a workstation on the QNX network ran an rlogin to the Sun machine, the rlogin would happen transparently through the QNX host. Effectively, the entire QNX network becomes a single, logical TCP/IP host.

Multiple QNX TCP/IP hosts

In the following example, multiple QNX network nodes are acting as TCP/IP hosts. All the computers reside on the same media as the hosts that aren't running QNX.

Multiple QNX network nodes acting as TCP/IP hosts.

You may wish to set up multiple TCP/IP hosts on the same QNX network in order to have each host provide a different service or to distribute the processing load across several hosts.

QNX gateway with separate networks

In the following example, the configuration enables a QNX host to act as a gateway between two separate TCP/IP networks.

A QNX host acts as a gateway between two separate Ethernet networks.

The gateway will forward IP packets from any TCP/IP host on one network to any TCP/IP host on the other network. So, for example, a Sun machine can access services on the NT machine.

With such a configuration, you'll have to assign a different subnet to each network (see TCP/IP Network Administration ).

This example shows a QNX host connected to two separate networks, but note that a QNX workstation can actually support more than two networking cards.

Single QNX TCP/IP host (serial)

In the following example, a QNX TCP/IP host resides on a serial line. Except for the networking media being used, this is very similar to the ``Single QNX TCP/IP host'' example described earlier.

A QNX TCP/IP host resides on a serial line.

Many people use this type of setup to gain access to a wide area TCP/IP network that they don't have any local area network access to - the Internet, for example. Many people also set up their home computers in this way so they can dial into a remote TCP/IP host with a modem - more on this in the Configuration chapters.

I want to set the DRIVE AGX “10 GbE port 2” IP and mask. If I run the following commands, all works fine:

Now I want to make this setting permanent, to last after a reboot.

I tried creating a new file: sudo gedit /etc/network/interfaces.d/interfaces

Saving and then rebooting, but then when I run “ifconfig” I see that the IP and mask are not set at all. Here is the ifconfig printout. ifconfig log.txt (2.1 KB)

How to permanently change the IP and mask?

Dear @Sunny127 , Does https://docs.nvidia.com/drive/drive-os-5.2.6.0L/drive-os/index.html#page/DRIVE_OS_Linux_SDK_NGC_Development_Guide/config_network_setup.html#wwpID0EXHA help?

By reading: https://docs.nvidia.com/drive/drive-os-5.2.6.0L/drive-os/index.html#page/DRIVE_OS_Linux_SDK_NGC_Development_Guide/config_network_setup.html#wwpID0E04E0HA

I changed the file /etc/network/interfaces t the following content:

The “enp4s0” still has no ip.

I then opened link: https://docs.nvidia.com/drive/drive-os-5.2.6.0L/drive-os/index.html#page/DRIVE_OS_Linux_SDK_NGC_Development_Guide/config_network_setup.html#wwpID0EXHA

Created a file “/etc/netplan/01-network-manager-all.yaml”

The ifconfig shows that “enp4s0” still has no ip.

Dear @Sunny127 , Could you share connection details and dmseg and syslog outputs

Here are the connection details, dmesg and syslog outputs:

dmesg.txt (68.6 KB) ethtool.txt (999 Bytes) ifconfig.txt (3.0 KB) ip link show.txt (1.2 KB) netstat.txt (558 Bytes) syslog.txt (14.6 MB)

Dear @Sunny127 , Could you please confirm if you still have this issue?

I indeed still have the issue.

Is there any solution to this question? I have the same question as well.

@SivaRamaKrishnaNV Any ideas, does modify /etc/systemd/networks works? why default does not have eth0.400, eth0.900 vlan info

When I started using DHCP to automatically assign IP addresses to computers and devices in our house, I could change the subnet mask for all of them using the administration interface of my router. I found this out when I wanted to change the IP address on Android by visiting How to Change the IP Address on Your Android Device before doing so. I use the web browser on my computer to access the router’s web interface. To do this, I must go to the router’s address and log in with my account and password. On most routers, this is 192.168.0.1 or 192.168.1.1, but they can vary.

sudo apt install netplan solves the problem.

How to Change Your IP Address (Windows)

Last Updated: March 13, 2020 Tested

This article was written by Stan Kats and by wikiHow staff writer, Jack Lloyd . Stan Kats is the COO and Chief Technologist for The STG IT Consulting Group in West Hollywood, California. Stan provides comprehensive technology & cybersecurity solutions to businesses through managed IT services, and for individuals through his consumer service business, Stan's Tech Garage. Stan has over 7 years of cybersecurity experience, holding senior positions in information security at General Motors, AIG, and Aramark over his career. Stan received a BA in International Relations from The University of Southern California. The wikiHow Tech Team also followed the article's instructions and verified that they work. This article has been viewed 2,538,817 times.

This wikiHow teaches you how to change both your public IP address and your private IP address on a Windows computer. Your public IP address is the address that your computer broadcasts to other networks, while your private IP address is your computer's specific address within your own wireless network. Changing either of these may fix connection issues.

Step 1 Unplug your router and modem.

  • You may want to check your current IP address before doing this.
  • Simply unplugging the router and modem from the wall will work.

Step 2 Disable your computer's Wi-Fi.

  • Click Wi-Fi in the pop-up window.

Step 3 Wait for five minutes.

  • You may want to check your IP address again to make sure it has changed.

Step 6 Contact your ISP.

Renewing the Address

Step 1 Open Start icon.

  • If you aren't an administrator on your current computer, you won't have this option and thus won't be able to renew your computer's IP address.

Step 5 Click Yes when prompted.

Changing the Address

Step 1 Open the Settings...

  • IP address - Usually, your device's IP address will be "192.168.1.X" (or a similar set of numbers), wherein "X" is specific to your device. Change the "X" value to a number between 1 and 100. Make sure you don't use the same IP address as another device on your network (e.g., your phone).
  • Subnet prefix length - This depends on your IP address, but will usually be "255.255.255.X".
  • Gateway - This is your router's IP address.
  • Preferred DNS - Your preferred DNS address (for example: "208.67.222.222" for the OpenDNS server, or "8.8.8.8" for Google's server).
  • Alternate DNS - A secondary DNS address (for example: "208.67.220.220" for the OpenDNS server, or "8.8.4.4" for Google's server).

Step 9 Click Save.

How to change your ip address from the command prompt in windows.

It's easy enough to change an IP address on your PC using Control Panel, but did you know you can also do it from the Command Prompt?

Quick Links

Launch command prompt as admin to use netsh, view your network information with command prompt, change your ip address, subnet mask, and default gateway, change your dns settings in command prompt, key takeaways.

  • You must launch Command Prompt, PowerShell, or Terminal as admin to use netsh.
  • Use the "netsh interface ipv4 show config" command to find the full name of the network interface you want to change.
  • Modify your IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway using the command "netsh interface ipv4 set address". You can also change DNS settings using "netsh interface ipv4 set dns".

Changing your IP address with the Control Panel interface isn't difficult, but it does require clicking through a number of different windows and dialog boxes. If you're a fan of the Command Prompt, though, you can get it done more quickly using the netsh command, which is just one of the great network utilities built into Windows .

We're going to use the netsh command, but it requires that Command Prompt be launched as administrator to work. The netsh command allows you to configure just about any aspect of your network connections in Windows.

To launch Command Prompt (or PowerShell) as Admin, open up the Start Menu, search "cmd," hover over the result, then click "Run as Administrator."

Run Command Prompt as administrator.

In Windows 10 or Windows 11, you can also right-click the Start menu (or press Windows+X on your keyboard) to open the Power User Menu and choose "PowerShell (Admin)."

You can (and should ) use PowerShell for this instead.

Before you change your IP address and related information, you'll need to find the full name of the network for the interface you want to change. To do this, type the following command:

netsh interface ipv4 show config

The output of netsh interface ipv4 show config. The Wi-Fi adapter is highlighted in red.

Scroll down until you see the interface you're looking for. In our example, we're going to modify the Wi-Fi interface, which on our machine is just named "Wi-Fi." You'll also see other default names that Windows assigns to interfaces, such as "Local Area Connection," "Local Area Connection* 2," and "Ethernet." Just find the one you're looking for and make note of the exact name. You can also copy and paste the name to Notepad and then back into Command Prompt later to make things easier.

With the interface name in hand, you're ready to change the IP Address, subnet mask, and gateway. To do this, you'll issue a command using the following syntax:

netsh interface ipv4 set address name="YOUR INTERFACE NAME" static IP_ADDRESS SUBNET_MASK GATEWAY

So, for example, your command might look something like the following:

netsh interface ipv4 set address name="Wi-Fi" static 192.168.3.8 255.255.255.0 192.168.3.1

Where the info is replaced by whatever you want to use. In our example, the command does the following:

  • Uses the interface name "Wi-Fi"
  • Sets the IP address to 192.168.3.1
  • Sets the subnet mask to 255.255.255.0
  • Sets the default gateway to 192.168.3.1

And if you're using a static IP address but want to switch to using an IP address assigned automatically by a DHCP server — such as your router — you can use the following command instead:

netsh interface ipv4 set address name="YOUR INTERFACE NAME" source=dhcp

You can also use the netsh command to change the DNS servers used by a network interface. Third-party DNS servers — like Google Public DNS and OpenDNS —can be faster and more reliable than the DNS servers provided by your ISP. Whatever your reason for changing your DNS server , you can do it either at the router so it affects all the devices that get their information from the router or at the individual device. If you want to change the DNS servers for just one PC, it's easy to do with the netsh command.

You'll need to use the command twice: once to set your primary DNS server and once to set your secondary, or backup, DNS server. To set your primary DNS server, use the following syntax:

netsh interface ipv4 set dns name="YOUR INTERFACE NAME" static DNS_SERVER

So, for example, your command might look something like the following (in which we set it to Google's primary public DNS server, 8.8.8.8):

netsh interface ipv4 set dns name="Wi-Fi" static 8.8.8.8

To set your secondary DNS server, you'll use a very similar command:

netsh interface ipv4 set dns name="YOUR INTERFACE NAME" static DNS_SERVER index=2

So, continuing our example, you might set your secondary DNS as the Google Public DNS secondary server, which is 8.8.4.4:

netsh interface ipv4 set dns name="Wi-Fi" static 8.8.4.4 index=2

And just like with the IP address, you can also change it so that the network interface grabs its DNS settings automatically from a DHCP server instead. Just use the following command:

netsh interface ipv4 set dnsservers name"YOUR INTERFACE NAME" source=dhcp

And there you have it. Whether you like typing at the command prompt better or just want to impress your coworkers, now you know all the command line magic you need for changing your IP address settings.

    We can type: route -n add 56.x.y.0/24 56.a.b.1 (2nd addr is the gateway) It shows up in the routing table (route -f) and all works fine. The problem is when the system is rebooted of course it goes away. We need to make it persistent by creating or adding that line to some file that runs at boot-up. Sounds simple enough - like autoexec.bat in DOS.

    Disable (0) or enable (1) IP forwarding. If this is enabled, the host acts as a router. That would be 'sysctl -w net.inet.ip.forwarding=1'. I don't have QNX to test, but I don't think you need to add any routes, as the connected interfaces already have network, i.e. route already exists. But confirm with 'netstat -r'.
