Title: AMITCP/Genesis trouble
Post by: dougal on September 08, 2010, 05:56:58 PM
Sorry for all the problem questions.

All of a sudden for some reason whenever i try and load Genesis to connect to the net i am getting:

Could Not Launch AMITCP Kernel

possible causes:

1) AmiTCP:\Kernal\AmiTCP does not exist
2) Another TCP Stack is running

Now AmiTCP DOES exist and no other (as far as i know) TCP stack is running.

Any way i can fix this? It used to work fine before

hm, I think you can use the command 'status' to check if by any chance any other stack is running.

you should probably check if some libs are required by snoopdos

To check whether another TCP/IP stack is running, open a shell window and enter

version bsdsocket.library full

If it replies "object not found", then no other stack is running. If it returns some version information, then the information should give a hint which other stack it is.

To check whether Genesis is installed correctly, enter

assign exists amitcp:

If the command returns without output, then the assign does not exist. If it outputs a path, check if the path points to Genesis.

If the assign does not exist or if it points to the wrong directory, edit s:user-startup and make sure that there is exactly one section which creates an AmiTCP: assign and that this assign points to Genesis.

And what about the status command? Is AmiTCP running? Can you stop it with the Break command? Does Genesis run after you stopped AmiTCP?

Enter status. Check if AmiTCP is among the processes. Remember its process number. Enter break n, where n is the process number. Enter status again and check if AmiTCP is gone. Now try Genesis again.
