Title: OS4 freezes on X-surf transfers
Post by: Doraemon on December 26, 2007, 12:20:28 AM: Hello.
I have a working X-surf (the one with ide and clockport ports) in my amiga4000
In os3.9 works fine but in the 4.0 side freezes the system every time that i transfer some bits.
It works fine the first packets but in a few seconds completelly freezes the system.
Its a 100% clean install.
I use the x-surf.device V1.2 filesize 13448 (040 version) as sugested in the compatibility list of acube.
Any idea?
Of course its in the roadshow stack.

Thanks and sorry for my bad english.

I have the exact same problem, but with my mediator and Realtek RTL8029 card.

I don't know yet what's wrong :-(

Anyone know how to remove the TCP stack so I can install AmiTCP? If I dont try and use the OS4 stack it still says the bsdsocket.library is always loaded.

It cant be anything to serious because I'm using an RTL8029
with a Mediator in an Elbox A4000 Power Tower without
any problems. Are you using the rtl8029.device?

Post by: Kin-Hell on February 08, 2008, 12:01:42 AM: I lock up with X-Surf on an A4000D as soon as I try to load a Web Page anywhere. First few packets arrive, then total lock-up.

I guess I could do with looking at this patch too if someone can send it to me.

Thanks in advance! :-)

Post by: Andywest41 on May 28, 2008, 08:10:20 PM: I have been having the same problem with a Norway adaptor attached to my Algor USB card. I thought it was either something I was doing wrong or a problem with the Algor (I have problems getting OS4 to boot with the Algor installed) so I bought a second-hand X-surf card only to find that does exactly the same thing; starts a transfer and then freezes. I'm not a happy bunny! Can someone e-mail/PM me the patched x-surf.device too so I can save at least some of my hair from all this pulling! (andywest41-at-hotmail.com)

Look for xsurfnew.lha

edit:
The driver for the ariadneII which is needed to patch xsurf.device is here (http://www.sophisticated-development.de/software/index.php).

You can prevent Roadshow starting by removing all interface files from DEVS:NetInterfaces. But AmiTCP (and Genesis too I think) won't work on OS4 because it contains some nasty hacks.

Drivers written according to the pre-OS4 SANA-II standard should work with OS4. The reason for an older driver not working with OS4 could easily be unrelated to the way it implements SANA-II.
