Title: VLink in Genesis
Post by: motorollin on May 31, 2006, 07:39:22 PM

I'm trying to set up VLink, which is supposed to bridge ShapeShifter's emulated network device to an AmiTCP network device.

I have followed the instructions (which are for Miami) but can't get it working. I can't ping the emulated Mac from the Amiga, and I can't reach any web sites from the emulated Mac.

I think the problem is the routing between vlink.device and vlinkmirror.device Can anyone who has set this up in Genesis help me?

Thanks

In MacDOS you have to use the TCP/IP-stack by starting say a web-browser or some other network app, before it can be pinged.

Hi Patrik

Thanks for the info! I started Netscape and I was then able to ping the IP address of the emulated Mac. However, I am still unable to access any web sites from the Mac. I have tried using Google's IP address and it still doesn't work, so it's not a DNS problem. It appears that traffic is not being routed between 192.168.1.2 (the Mac) and 192.168.1.1 (vlink.device), or between vlink.device and my Ethernet card.

Any help would be much appreciated!

Thanks
