Hi
I'm having troubles getting AmiTCP setup but I think I'm almost there.
I've got it setup to the point that I want to try and ping something, but when I do (or ping the amiga from another machine) it doesn't work and I get this from the log.
Thu Feb 09 19:09:07 2006 [err ]: from address: xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx!!
Thu Feb 09 19:09:08 2006 [err ]: An ARP packet sent as: xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:XX
I get a long list of these, the numbers change, I guess their the mac address so I've x'ed them out.
Any ideas what is going on an what I may have done, all I'm trying to do at the moment is use ping.
(A1200, with 68030, AmigaOS 3.0 and an NE2000 PCMCIA NIC)
-
Do you use a compatible NIC? What brand and model is it?
-
In the past, I have used this NIC successfully with Miami and cnet.device, it's just that I get errors installing MUI so I wanted to try AmiTCP.
I'm still using the cnet.device SANA-II driver this time arround
-
What version of AmiTCP? Also, can you post your config file(s), "ifconfig -a" output, etc.
-
I'm using AmiTCP 2.2
Here's the output
ifconfig: ioctl (SIOCGIFFLAGS): no such interface

So much the better when you get AmiTCP working. Miami isn't one of the faster TCP/IP stacks around, and it is also swallows a lot of resources that you can spend on other things when using the better AmiTCP.[

On a CD-ROM, I've found that I have a copy of AmiTCP 3.0 beta 2, shall I try that instead

Hi,
You could also try the 4.0 demo (http://main.aminet.net/package.php?package=comm/tcp/AmiTCP-demo-40.lha) from Aminet. As far as I can tell, the only restriction is that you have to wait a few seconds whens starting up the network.

Yes, 2.2 won't work with a lot of programs. Use 3.0b2 or 4.0 demo.

My mistake, drop the "-a" and it'll show all of the interfaces. BTW, try 3.0b2 or 4.0 demo first. It might be a problem with the early version.

I'm now trying 3.0b2
err, what's this login thing, I can't get into workbench now!!

You don't need it. Comment it out from your startup-sequence or user-startup.

right getting there.
on bootup it doesn't work at all.
only after adding to interfaces:
net dev = devs:networks/cnet.device
and after first boot writing in the shell:
ifconfig cnet0 192.168.1.155 255.255.255.0
can I even ping anything.
I can't ping anything on the net (I have a router), also Amiga Explorer doesn't work, I get "Error initalizing socket connection"
What am I doing wrong?

If you can ping your other computers in your network but you cannot ping outside, you probably have to set one or more DNS IP-addresses. These Domain Name Servers (ask your ISP) convert names of websites to IP-adresses.
I have AmiTCP version 4.3 and I do that with the configuration program that's installed when you install the AmiTCP package.
Do you have such a configuration program?

I do and I've put in the DNSs, but I can't even ping the DNS servers.

Have you defined your router's ip-address as gateway?
