Title: TCP: device in WinUAE
Post by: zurt on January 26, 2010, 09:57:44 PM
Hello,

Does anybody know how to enable TCP: device under WinUAE ?

I would like to run getVideo.rexx, and it seems it makes use of the device in the form:

TCP:http://www.domain.com/port

in order to retrieve web pages and videos.

Any help appreciated.

Thanks in avance.

@ zurt

WinUAE's built-in bsdsocket.library wrapper doesn't support TCP:. Instead, enable uaenet.device emulation and use a regular Amiga TCP/IP stack (AmiTCP, Genesis, Miami).

Just download Genesis or AmiTCP from Aminet, extract TCP-Hander and TCP dosdriver from the archive and put them into L: resp. Devs/DosDrivers. Edit TCP to point to L:TCP-Handler instead of AmiTCP:bin/TCP-Handler. That's all.

Bye,
Thomas

Have tried Thomas's solution.

I needed to download NetSurf because it is the only file in Aminet that has the TCP dosdriver.

http://aminet.net/search?content=DosDrivers%2FTCP

Then I installed inet-handler and TCP as Thomas said. And it works! :-)

Again thanks to everybody!!!
