Title: LAN between Amy and WinXP...help pls!
Post by: elektro_fabius on June 13, 2004, 11:05:35 AM

Hallo,

Do you know how to configure TCP/IP for your needs?

Otherwise you just need to do Internet Connection Sharing on WinXP, which is simple enough.

If you want to fileshare, I'd advise setting up FTP services on both machines and configure them well (bind them to LAN IPs as well), as opposed to samba.

Mmhh....for example...

Peg -> ip 192.168.0.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 gateway 192.168.0.3

Pc -> ip 192.168.0.3 netmask 255.255.255.0 gateway 192.168.0.3

Should be ok,this?
Is this the only setting i need?

@elektro_fabius

I did that too and mainly with MOS or the A1 with Linux. Here's the trick. On my WinXP box I have a modem so that one dails in. Then I install AnalogX proxy on WinXP. It's free and can be found at:
 http://www.analogx.com/contents/download/network/proxy.htm

This one is good since you can also chat on Amiga.org channel. Some proxies will cause it not the work. In order to chat you need to install an extra program called SocksCap. But that is all explained in the info. But this setup works for me just fine. And soon this will be tested with my A1 and OS4.

I'd advise doing things the other way round actually - enable Internet Connection Sharing on WinXP first (that grabs 192.168.0.1), then give your peg another IP.  The gateway needs to be the WinXP PC.

Knowing the TCP/IP settings you've set on both machines would be useful at this point.
