Really Silly X-Surf 100 Question

[danbeaver]

Well, after setting the Z2 jumper on for the Zorro 2 bus in the A2000 and installing the card, you should have de-archived the wiki file of device drivers and a SANA II file for the AmiTCP ver 3 that EasyNet uses.  The caches of the 030 CPU must be disabled (CLI>CPU NOCACHE FASTROM or add the line in your Startup-Sequence)

The correct device x-surf-100.device_020  or for AmiTCP, x-surf-100.device_a020 needs to go in DEVS:Networks renamed as "x-surf-100.device" and for the SANA boost you will need a directory in ENVARC: called SANA2 -- envarc:sana2 with the "x-surf-100.config" file stored there.

As to how the EasyNet software references the x-surf-100.device, I can't recall because the use of AmiTCP ver 3 precludes use of the lpr.device to access my network printers, so I use Roadshow68k.

You should have a screen for network devices like this one: http://shop.amigakit.com/images/netpcm003-page5.jpg  and be able to select it there.

A few months (ok, longer) I tried to get my Win 7 pc to communicate with my Amiga and it flat out refused.  I researched the web and found Win 7 hates connecting to other computer OS's -- and Samba running on the Amiga didn't work either.  Either you can drop back to XP or earlier, wish for devine inspiration, or set up an inexpensive server (which is what I did) and FTP files back and forth.

If anyone has an Amiga Forever solution running on Win 7,  please say how!

P.S., I keep all my Amiga downloads on the server so I can get access from any rebuilds I am working on; it also has my movie and music collection for my Roku devices.

This connection issue is most frustrating.  There doesn't seem to be a way to share a drive with my Amiga.  

Baffles me.

I've tried AExplorer and EasyNet - Hosts Manager... even though I've got the Amiga online (all the way to Aminet) I can't seem to get the two computers talk.  I don't really have the room to set up a third.  I do have a NAS unit here though...anyone ever have any luck with that?

Well I spent a few weeks trying and failed, that is why I wrote above that an inexpensive server (ZyXEL NSA325, 1 Gb connection, Raid 0/1, 2-drive, diskless) fit my needs as an Amiga depository, media server, and backup device). AmiFTP and Pete's FTP (pFTP) work quickly to access it.

Or you can wait for someone to find you a way to access your Win 7 PC from your Amiga.
