Title: A4000 & A1200 null modem & internet?
Post by: Abou27 on September 15, 2005, 10:35:03 PM

Evening all,

Once again I have to ask a kind of familiar question judging by searches of this site!  I am looking to connect a an A4000 with an A1200 via a null modem cable.  The A4000 has an ASDG dual serial card and the A1200 will be using the standard port.  Ultimately, I would like to allow the A1200 access to the internet via the modem connected to the A4000 but a simple file transfer connection between the two is more important.  Can this be done with, say, Genesis alone; or do I require separate comms software?  If so, what would be recommended?

(I have tried transferring files between the two with Term but with little, or no, success - and, yes I shall RTFM! Is this a step upon the wrong path, though?)

As always, any assistance is greatly appreciated :-)

Hi,

Take a look at Sernet (http://main.aminet.net/package.php?package=comm/net/sernet24.lha) as this might do what you're after...

So, is it possible to link two Amigas via serial ports with Genesis for modem sharing and file transfer?  And, can one make-up IP addresses for the two as long as they are stuck to?  My various attempts have been spectacularly unsuccessful thus far.

I've done it with MiamiDX. My Amiga 1200 had pcmcia ethernet card (conected via switch and cable modem to internet) and serial connection with A4000. with the help of people here, I have even managed to run smbfs and share directories, surf, etc.. with A4000. the most important thing was to setup SOCKS server at A1200  (in my case, it may be a4000 in your). I can't remember other details right now, but could provide you with config files in case you wanna try Miami DX. BTW, I thing DX version is reqired for socks (IIRC).

Good to know it is possible! Only problem is getting a key for Miami.  Maybe a look at your config files may let me work out something with Genesis, though; if it ain't too much trouble.  Thanks.

I've send you personal message with link to my configs.
IIRC, there are some passwords in those config files, just ignore them, please.. ;-)
