Howdy again. I have an ongoing problem getting my A1200 to work on a Netgear router using Genesis thru a Datamax PCMCIA ethernet card.
I've been following the recent discussions others have had here, but although I've tried to follow instructions closely, I have had no success.
I can actually get Genesis online (at least it tells me so) but neither Ibrowse, AWeb nor Voyager is able to connect with it. The Genesis Wizard stops at the IP address and I don't seem to be able to find one that works, altho I try every one I find.
I followed the excellent instructions on
www.skratchy.demon.co.uk/cnet_main.html but ... no luck.
I hope someone can shed a little light for me.

edit:
I forgot to mention that the primary computer is an emachine T2825 running XP. Now you know why I want my A1200 on the router.

You should give more concrete details of what you did, e.g. the exact model of the router, its IP address, the IP address you used for Genesis etc.
I randomly downloaded one reference manual from www.netgear.com and according to it, the router has the address 192.168.0.1 and give 192.168.0.2 and above to the PC, so if you strictly follow the mentioned instructions, it won't work because you assigned duplicate IP addresses.
So what you need to know to configure Genesis is the following:
1. IP address of the router (e.g. 192.168.0.1)
2. subnet mask (usually 255.255.255.0)
3. IP addresses the router gives to DHCP clients. These must not be used for Genesis (e.g. 192.168.0.2 through 192.168.0.31).
4. IP addresses the router accepts outside the DHCP range. One of these can be used for Genesis (e.g. 192.168.0.32).
5. The DNS address of your ISP or if the router supports DNS-Forwarding. In the latter case you can use the IP address of the router as DNS.
Now follow the instructions again with the updated data.
Also the reference manual contains a chapter about network and routing basics. You should really read this in order to understand what you are doing.
Bye,
