Help needed with Miami

[ChaosLord]

I have had my A1200T connected to DSL with Miami since 2000.
The static IP feature and the DHCP always seemed to work for me.

You need to describe, in detail how all your hardware is networked together.  Once you do that I can tell you a good idea of what is wrong.

What kind of cable comes out of your Amiga ethernet port?
What does it plug into? (pc or router or ?)
How many network cables are plugged into the PC?

What is your Amiga's IP address?
What is your PC's IP address?

Are you 100% positive that ALL your PC firewalls are off?

[ChaosLord]

Since your Amiga is plugged directly into the PC you must use a crossed ethernet cable, not a regular one.

Voila!  :-)

[ChaosLord]

Is "Microsoft file and printer sharing" enabled on the PC?

[ChaosLord]

Do you have more than 1 ethernet card in your pc?

Perhaps an onboard built-in one plus a PCI one?

[ChaosLord]

Are you running Samba on the Amiga?

Have you tried copying files to/from by using the PC?
(That is what I hafta do)

[ChaosLord]

How exactly are the Amiga and PC supposed to be communicating?

You said you are getting pings which means the hardware aspect is working.

There must some type of "filecopying over a network" software running.  Which for me means "Samba".

I simply click on "My network places" on the WindozeXP machine and there is my A1200T listed.  I can then right click on any file on the PC or Amiga and select "Copy" to copy it.

Anything is faster than Samba.  Linux slothware at is finest.

So what dir is this AmigaExplorer software supposed to live in?  It is not on my OS 3.9 A1200T.

[ChaosLord]

It sounds to me like you have 2 different network interfaces in your PC.  You seem to have 1 that is wireless and 1 that is standard ethernet.  You can do that and it will work but you MUST set them to be on different subnets.

Please goto ControlPanel/NetworkConnections on your XP box.

You should see 2 different "Local Area Connections".

Please tell me the IP #'s of both of these Local Area Connections by double-clicking on them and looking under "Support".

*POOF* All ur probs r gone  :-)

[ChaosLord]

Your default gateway settings should probably be blank.
Mine are blank and my network works.
I have 2 Ethernet NICs in my xp box, the onboard one + a PCI one.
