Title: Native AROS & TCP/IP
Post by: divined on September 15, 2010, 07:04:47 AM: Hello everybody

I`ve installed Native AROS on my old IBM ThinkPad R40. This laptop has an Intel Pro/100 NIC which according to this wiki http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Aros/Platforms/x86_support

is supported by AROS. Unfortunately, when I try to manually enter an IP address I get the error :

Code: [Select]
Failed to Restart Stack
Am I missing something here?

Post by: divined on September 15, 2010, 08:26:36 AM: seems no. The problem goes as follows :

1) I open the config tool from Prefs/Network Preferences
2) I press add and manually add and Select the intelpro100.device
3) I then proceed to enter the IP address, DNS and gateway.
4) When I press Save or USE I get the error 'Failed to restart network stack'

Now I need to find out how to surf the web using AROS for start!!!
