Networking issues

[nineoc]

Did IPCONFIG earlier, and IP's Mask, Gateway and AmiTCP all conform.

All computers, except the Amiga have sequential IP Addresses.

Do not use WiFi, do not use cell phone for anything other than phone/camera.

Do not know if all Amiga's have same MAC addresses.

Still do not know how to rename the Amiga from Unknown, or why it can connect to the Internet, but not Network.

Hesitant to make any major changes at the moment as my skill set is insufficient to resolve any accidental issues that may pop up, especially as they are all working, except the Amiga.

Am starting to think that the router's firewall may be interering with the Amiga.

Need to take a step back to review the situation before making any changes.

That's a good question, I was wondering that myself. I thought I put it in Hardware Issues and discussions,but I may have messed up.

So, have just changed the Amiga's IP Address, and it shows up in the router's control panel, but the Amiga is still not accessible by any of the computers in the network.

Cannot ping the Amiga from either the PC or the Router.

Winxp sometimes needs a couple of minutes, or a restart, to recognize network changes.

Just did a restart, same results. Think I may have to take a different approach to the situation.

Thanks to all who offered assistance, and all the best in the New Year.

Yes, the router is quite different.

As for your suggestion regarding assistance, I am in a remote part of Western Canada, and I have just recently been in touch with someone with Amiga experience who is about six hours away who may be able to assist. We will be talking on and off about options, so if we are able to get this sorted out I will let the forum know what the resolution is.

Thanks for continuing to think about this, and I will be in touch, one way or the other.
