Title: amitcp 3.02b stopnet script issues
Post by: MelbourneBen on March 14, 2012, 12:01:21 AM

Hi All,

Does anyone use amitcp 3.02b? I've been using it for some time with my WIFI PCMCIA card, it works great apart from one small niggle. I run startnet from the amitcp bin directory to start the tcp/ip stack but when I try and run stopnet to stop tcp/ip it just freezes on me...My only option is to then reboot.

I opened stopnet in a text editor and it looks like an AREXX command, as below:

rx "address AMITCP; KILL" ; Send "KILL" to AmiTCP

Can anyone shed any light on this? Is there an alternative way of stopping amitcp without restarting the Amiga? I guess I could try breaking the process manually...by doing a status and then break ...I'll try that later tonight.

Cheers

Ben

Hmmm..
I think that's the version I run, and haven't come across that problem..
Then again, I'm not using wifi yet (bought a card, just haven't bothered with it yet, as currently the 1200 is pretty close to the router)...
You have cardpatch and cardreset in your startup-sequence?

Yes, I have card patch and card reset installed.

I tried breaking the process manually and I get the same result, so I'm guessing this isn't a syntax problem with the stopnet script.
