EasyNet Wifi PCMCIA with Teathered Phone
« on: August 15, 2013, 01:49:43 AM »
Hi,
 
I have no broadband as I'm struggling for monies at the moment, so
I use my mobile phone which has unlimited data to teather to my laptop or PC.
 
I have an Amiga with an EasyNet Wifi card which I have not set up yet (I'm yet to figure it out). I was wondering if you have to use Static IPs with the card or will it connect via DHCP as my phone does not allow for me to set up Static IPs as far as I know. Usually my laptop just connects and is assigned an IP by my phone.
 
Do you think it will be possible to get online with the PCMCIA EasyNet Wifi Card teathered to my phone?
 
Another Question.... If I connect through my Sky Router (Which has no internet connection), what software could I use to network my Amiga to my PC, and would I have to use WINUAE to complete the network?

I actually modified an old Linksys WRT54G router with DD-WRT. I then had the wireless of the router connect to my current Wifi setup. In a sense the Amiga is "wireless" :). I just used my 3com PCMCIA adapter and works like a charm via DHCP.
 
I havent really used a wireless PCMCIA, but figured id give you the idea of just getting an old Linksys WRT54G to modify.

 
Thanks for the advice, but unfortunately I am absolutely skint and can't afford to buy any thing more. These are the only items I have to play around with. I'm guessing that if you can connect an ethernet PCMCIA via DHCP though, that I can probably connect my Wifi card via DHCP. What software do you use to connect to the WRT64G?

I just use Miami. I had Miami Deluxe somewhere but have to dig it out sometime.

Did you need to install drivers before hand too?
 
Does Miami do the configuring of your Ethernet card or does a seperate driver program do that?

OF course this is "possible" and should be quite easy. The hard part will be getting the amiga side wifi ready. If you are using WEP its kinda easy but if you are on WPA you have to have a pc to flash the pcmcia card there are threads on this here I think.

Hmm, it's WPA2, whatever that means. I'll maybe take a look for that info you suggested on flashing the card, sounds like scary territory though. :S
