connecting via amiPC to a 1200

ahhhhhhhhhh, k i'll work out the rest myslef, or i'll just come back here  :-D thanks ;-)

[sir_inferno]

oh well i renamed the files, but still no result, the install.info says "Unable to open your tool 'installer'" [random]!?!?!??!


 :-?  :-?  :-?  :-?  :-?  :-(  :-?  :-?  :-?  :-?  :-?

[sir_inferno]

ive assumed your using a standard parallel laplink cable

ummmmmmm, i'm using the official Ami2PC cable, isn't that a bi-directional one?

[sir_inferno]

:lol: well this ain't a complaint, this is a question (like all the others  :-) )

am i correct in saying that all the files without .info are icons and so that's why they don't show up on my amiga workbench when i select all files?

[sir_inferno]

ahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa rite, so to view the file correctly, you have to have the info set up correctly, and because windows truncuated the file names, the .info was set up wrong, so the file was set up wrong... :-) is that correct?

[sir_inferno]

yep, it's down to my standard now, thanks a lot 4 you're help, and next time i post a question, don't bother tyo answer it  :-D

[sir_inferno]

success is so close i can smell it, but i will write up the story once i've finished my ice cream   :-)

[sir_inferno]

finished my cornetto, now to work  :-)

i couldn't download you're files, mainly because i didn't have time, and secondly, cause internet explorer, nor getright acknowledged the file without an extension, so it was trying to download the folder... so maybe if you renamed it to anything... but besides that...

I follwed you're instructions, first time i think  ;-)  :-D and i managed to get a connection, by what i mean i ran the config file on the pc and then i ran "PC2AMIGA.exe", and it went:

amiga<-->pc transfferrer
Dos 7.0+ detected, using long filenames.
B4 it gave me the general error of "there could be one of four problems".

But nothing appeared to happen on the amiga, (probably cause the amiga has not been configured nor has it got anything to run) so i ran the file on the pc: PC2AMRES.exe it says this:

amiga<-->pc transfferrer
Dos 7.0+ detected, using long filenames.
Resident Installed

and in a big box of stars, it then says:

Microsoft Windows Program pop-up support

Your pop-up program is ready to run. When you have finished, press ctrl+c to exit this program and return to windows.

How about some1 other than the kind ryu gives me an answer?  :-P  :-D  :-P

P.S. does uppercase and lowercase matter for the files that i put on the amiga that windows truncuated?

[sir_inferno]

somebody........ANYBODY!!!!!!!!! :angry:  :madashell:  :pissed:

[sir_inferno]

ummmmmmmmm, since i had to manual install because it didn't want to run installer, i thought you might have guessed that config didn't run either, so...

1.) where do i put the pc and pc.info?
2.) what do i run on the amiga side? and since my files are "broken"!?!?!? what do i do if i can't?

[sir_inferno]

ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmm, windows truncuated the file names, again, so i copied them over, now could i just have the name of the file (that i downloaded from you...)

and then do i double click on that to do the link?

[sir_inferno]

anyway, think about it, if you keep on helping an amiga novice, i.e. some1 who only knew how to put things into an amiga drive and make the games work  :-D  oh and playing mods and watching pictures, then eventually you'll get to like cult member or somthing  :-)

[sir_inferno]

nope, you've helped enough  :-)

but i just need to know the name of the Pc icon thing, cause mine is all mucked up... i.e. i'ts name is like PC2AG~1

all i need to know is the original name, is it just pc?

[sir_inferno]

ummm, ok i've bugged you enough, i'll re-read the guide, then re-read it, then download some more files, shove them somewhere, and hope it works, thanks anyway.
