Trouble with Easynet

[Oldsmobile_Mike]

I've never used EasyNet (although I've heard it's really hard to use... sorry), but did your disk include an installation script?  Did you run it, and did it complete successfully?
- Did you have any prior TCP/IP stacks installed before EasyNet (i.e., Miami, Genesis, AmiTCP, Roadshow)?
- Also, what version of Workbench?

And well, when things started to go bad i tried to install Miami through the installer located in "Drawers/MyFiles" So maybe i should remove that installation first. But is that just a matter of deleting the directory that i installed it in? Or is there Miami related files located somewhere else?

Huh.  Did the installation instructions tell you to do that?  AFAIK EasyNet is a complete TCP/IP solution, same as Miami, or Genesis, or Roadshow, etc., and wouldn't need to be installed along with anything else.  Trying to run multiple stacks simultaneously is definitely going to cause some issues.

I did a little googling and saw some comments about an "11 page instruction manual" for EasyNet.  Did you get this?  Looks like there's scans of some of the pages here:

Maybe helpful?

Personally I would dump EasyNet and try to have a go with either Roadshow or Miami.  All the various stacks have their pros & cons, Roadshow is far and above the fastest (as reported by everyone who was able to get it working), Miami is probably the easiest (because of it's GUI).  Just my .02 cents.

This may be more applicable to what you are trying to do.

So... the best idea here is maybe to delete both Miami and Easynet and start over from scratch. But i am still afraid that doesn't answer the question on what to do with the "CardPatch failed returncode 10" message...

I also would like to know where you usually install your TCP/IP stack. Is it suppose to go in the "Programs" folder? Because that is where i put it.

Are you running any of the card reset patches currently?

The Amiga doesn't have a "Programs" drawer. Well, maybe it does with ClassicWB, but normally it doesn't. Normal location is SYS:Internet, although some components may go in WBStartup,  some in C:, etc. Or with Roadshow, it puts folders all over the place. Which was a complaint that came up in another thread a while back.

[Oldsmobile_Mike]

Are you really fond of ClassicWB?  I'm pretty opinionated on this subject, and my opinion is that it's rubbish.  Dump it and go with regular Workbench 3.9, or try 3.1 + BetterWB.  Might have better luck there.

Of course, plenty of people love and swear by ClassicWB, so there is that.  

Amiga doesn't really have "requirements" about where stuff goes, but if you have an installer that's looking for a file in SYS:Internet (the standard place) and ClassicWB has renamed that to "Programs", or some other godforsaken thing to try to make it more PC-like...  well, who knows.  

[Oldsmobile_Mike]

Took one look at a recent ClassicWB screenshot, and this... no... this, this is all wrong, LOL.  

SYS: should be your system files, you shouldn't have a gazillion subdirectories inside of that for "WBGames", "Demos", "Games", "MyFiles", blah blah.  What is all that?  That's what the Work: partition is for.  Or god-forbid is it too much to ask to put "Games" on a separate partition from your System files?  Why the H-E-double hockeysticks would you put Demos in your SYS: partition?  AAAHHHH.  I think my head exploded a little bit looking at this.  In the words of every teenage girl everywhere, "I can't even".

Ok, that's not the best of news. Also i don't have any money right now to spend on a new accelerator. So for now i think i just put kick 3.0 back and install "BetterWB" instead.

3.1 isn't changing the way memory is addressed, it's just correcting a bug in the way it's handled.  In other words, you only have 8MB of address space.  Your PCMCIA card uses some, and your accelerator uses some.  If your accelerator is using all 8MB and your PCMCIA card is using some of that same 8MB... well, I'd expect system instability or crashes when data tries to write to those locations.  But do what you want, lol.
