I just got my Ethernet PC-Card network card and a network cd(and yes the card work with amiga) first I copied the cnet.device driver to Workbench:DEVS/networks.
then I transfered miami32b_Installer and when I tried to run the installer I found out I needed installer v43 which i guess i dont have. I have a A1200 unexpanded desktop with OS 3.1. So I downloaded AmiTCP 2.2 and installed it. But after the reboot I got a error about something cant find AmiTCP/DEVS/mountlist and I have looked and there are even no directory namned AmiTCP/DEVS
I tried the ping command that was with AmiTCP-2.2
I pingded my main pc-box and YES it worked
but when i try ftp it doesnt work.
does the ping command work even if you havent setup the TCP stack?
I going to reinstall OS3.1 now In the mean time can someone please tell what TCP stacks that works best and how to install them.
btw I bought the network card from GGS-Data in sweden if someone else have the same card and net-cd then they can tell how they got it to work
Its working now
I installed installer 43.3 and installed miami32b_Installer

Yes, you must have a TCP/IP stack running and connected before you can do any network communications.
Personally I find MiamiDX the best, but good luck trying to buy keyfiles these days.
AmiTCP+Genesis comes with OS3.9 and is a good alternative. The Genesis front end makes AmiTCP much easier to install and set up.
And don't reinstall OS 3.1, there's no need to. Just find the problem! It's not windows you know :-P
As for the mountlist error, look in DEVS:DOSdrivers and there's probably something new like PIPE: been added during the AmiTCP install. Disable it for now by removing it from DOSdrivers. Or use a text editor to edit the moutfile and correct it.
Failing that look in S:User-Startup for anything new that AmiTCP has added (should be at the bottom).
