Title: Miami problems (URGENT)
Post by: Nick on February 21, 2003, 04:02:50 PM: Helloo there

We`ve just signed up with a new ISP. OneTel. Problem is I can`t get my Amiga online using that connection at the moment. Miami v3 doesn`t seem to like the idea of OneTel at the moment. I`ve installed MiamiDX, something which I have only limited experience with. I`ve got what seems like all of the info in it, but things are a foot.

The main Online button is useless. When I go into "Interfaces" I press online from within there, it makes all the right noises etc. Thing is it says its online in the Interfaces bit, but not on the main bit at the bottom. Also when I go into IBrowse it doesn`t seem to be online at all.

PLEASE HELP....We`re cutting off our other ISP soon. Things could get very annoying!

Thanks

Quick list of steps to follow:
1) Run MiamiInit and follow its instructions.
2) Quit MiamiInit.
3) Run MiamiDx.
4) Import settings from MiamiInit.
5) Try connecting. If it works, then make sure you do a "Save Settings as Default" in MiamiDx.

I have changed ISPs a few times using th old Miami, no problem. This one obviously needs a better TCP/IP stack to work. Oh well it forced me to upgrade anyway.

Thanks....Crisis over.
:-D

I have both.
Make sure you have the right driver selected for Sana I use the mni drivers that come with MiamiDX (they will also work with Miami v3) on my real Amiga. With Amithlon you have to use the powern2k.device.
In the settings make sure that it is set to DHCP and that use DHCP is active in prefs
But as suggested before use Miami Init for both Miami and MiamiDX. load the settings in and it should work.

Also find out if your ISP uses ppoe as this will make a difference.

If you got to www.nodicglobal.com Holger has a very good tutorial in ADSL/Cable setup.

I am using MiamiDX on my Pegasos, and I must say that setting up the connection with MiamiInit is very smooth! :-)

I would like the full version of this software. Too bad that it's not possible to register anymore ... :-(

Oh, Aminet was a way too obvious :-)

Post by: Acill on February 22, 2003, 01:19:14 PM: Cool, i decided to go online with my working settings and then try Miami Init again and it worked. I get a much better connection using the new setting too.
