Would a card such as this

work on an Amiga 1200?
-
Thats the exact card that I use on my A1200. Works great!
-
There is a driver on Aminet at hard\drivr\cnetdevice.lha or
hard\drivr\3c589.lha
-
Ok cool :D
Next thing, I have a router that assigns pcs with IP addresses, rather than setting them on the pcs. Can the Amiga detect what IP address the router wants to give it?
-
Yeah used the same card here, worked a dream

I don't know but the worst case is you have set the Amiga to an IP outside the automatic range. I think my router was set to (I switched it off myself) automatically assign 192.168.0.(0-50) so you could set the IP in the range of 192.168.0.(51-255) manually.

Ah yeah that would work :)
Thanks for the help everyone. I'll pick up one of those cards :)
-
Hey, sorry about this, but would this card work also? it's cheaper than the 3com and it doesn't have that annoying connect on cable system(dongle-less?)

Yes, that card would work too. I bought an identical card from the same seller.
-
Cool thanks, I've bought one.
Nice to see someone else from Ireland here :)

Sorry to hijack this thread .
Is there a list of PCMCIA network cards that are known to work with the A1200 ?
Now I've got my "new" old A1200 working I want to get it communicating with the world around it!
In fact I might use it as my main machine at work :-D :-D
Should stop me from getting all those M$ worms and viri !

Does this one work?
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3478151304

Yes, this is the same as one that was linked to earlier in this thread.

The cnet.device and 3c589.device archives have lists of compatible cards.

What drives to use for an Gold II ethernet card? and how can i setup it up?
Btw: how can i hook up a PC to the AMIGA through the lan card?

That requires DHCP support on the Amiga. Miami and Miami Deluxe have that support. I don't know if any other available TCP/IP stacks for the Amiga have it. Unfortunately, you can no longer register Miami or MiamiDx because the author, Holger Kruse, has left the Amiga community behind.
Coincidentally, before I sold my A1200T to a friend, I had an ApNET PCMCIA Ethernet card in it. Worked great with Miami.
-
I have one of those pcmcia cards with the ports built in, and i had it jacked into a friends broadband adapter. you don't HAVE to use DHCP, and as far as the amiga's concerned, i'd avoid it as most the time the amiga's IP stack isn't clever enough to understand whats going on anyway.
just make sure you have the cnet.device package. its either on aminet, or on one of the old amiga active CDroms.
set it up with a static IP address that is in the routers IP range, but with an IP address that won't be taken by another machine. (something like .100). and set the gateway as the routers IP address, and you should be able to surf the net, telnet, whatever on the net just fine. no router reconfiguration required.
having a static IP is good for samba configuration too. i did have a little smile when i saw my A1200 in my mates "network neighbourhood" on his PC (need samba for that) and he mounted a couple of my drives as network drives. most cool.
trouble is, i don't really like miami. its rather slow for an IP stack, and it gets a bit annoying when the tcp programs are called "miamiping" and stuff. half the utility prorams for TCP/IP are missing, and paths don't get set etc. much better bet is to get the netconnect3 package from vapour - that'll have all your web browsing, IRC, chatclient, ftp, you name it, it's there internet requirements in one handy package, or 3.1roms and OS 3.9 with a cut down version of genesis (that doesn't time out after 30 minutes! grrr) miami is good for testing though. least you know it works.
(just gutted i lost my netconnect2 key plugging an OS3.5 disk into an OS3.0 machine error, error, error, error, error, error, error, error, error, etc.) :-)

It may be worth pointing out that the seller has relisted - with a BIN price of £0.99p!
I've just bought 4..... 2 for me, 2 for a friend!
