If none of the available TCP/IP stacks are working, are you certain your network card isn't at fault?  Or damaged pins in the PCMCIA port?  Are you able to verify that the card and port are both working correctly?

Did it work previously and now is not working, or has it never worked?  If it worked before and now is not working, what changed?

i am using a realtek 8139d.

That's great, but you didn't address any of the questions I posed, which might have helped troubleshoot the issue.  Oh well, good luck!  :(

If everything worked fine before you replaced the router, and now no longer works since changing the router, than your problem is most likely with the router. I'd try swapping back to the old one and see if things start working again before spending a whole bunch of time poking and prodding at settings.

Once you've verified the single source of failure, then you could start checking if it's (a) something in the router blocking the Amiga from connecting, or a setting that needs to be enabled, or (b) something on the Amiga that needs to be updated to allow it to "talk" to the new router. For example a DHCP setting or a static IP assign, etc.

First of all, use DHCP instead of fiddling around with static IP addresses.

I could never get my A2000 to play nice with a Windows Server running as a DHCP server (it's set up at my office).  Am sure it would be fine using a normal consumer-level home router serving DHCP addresses to just a few devices, but in my particular case, I assign a static IP address to my Miggy and be done with it (so it doesn't need to try to pull one from the server).

No real point to this post, just saying that DHCP isn't always the answer.  ;)

So Mike, so how do you add the static IP to your Amiga, am having the same issue with EasyNet and would love to solve it.

I use MiamiDX, but it should be easy enough to just assign an IP address that's within your range, but outside of the DHCP scope, with any TCP/IP software.

For example if your router is configured as 192.168.1.1 and it has the DHCP scope of 192.168.1.2 - 192.168.1.199, set your Amiga to the IP address of 192.168.1.200.  Voila, it will be able to talk to everything on the network without conflicting with another device.
