First of all, have you set the defaults so it connects to your network? And cardreset installed?

The prism2 defaults aren't set on your router, it's set on your Amiga. Read the docs that followed the prism2 driver.

Unplugging and plugging in again will do the same as CardReset, so if you can live with it for now, then it's fine I guess.

As for the DNS servers, try to see what the database button contains.

Well, I have, but you still haven't answered my question; have you set the prism2 defaults according to the docs???

Since you have MAC adress filtering, have you pressed "Query device" at any time while setting up Miami? Otherwise the MAC adress will not be read, so a mac adress full of 0 will try to connect to your network, instead of the actual MAC adress of the ethernet card.

Furthermore, have you got pccard.library installed in libs:?

Well, you only need to do it once, unless you don't save your settings ;-)

I'm out of ideas. I have earlier made this guide to help people setup ethernet cards on A600 and A1200. Maybe there is something you can use anyway.

I use Miami Deluxe myself, and have no problems at all going online with my A1200D. Other than wrong MAC adress inserted in router settings, IP and subnet mask I'm out of ideas.
