Area Network Amiga to W,Xp

[seer]

Never mind.

@AxE..

Ah what the hell.. Another edit, Looks like kenny posted the question for you in mentioned thread, but did you try making bothe gateways the same IP ?

[seer]

> why would i make both the gateways have the same IP, thats not how you setup a network

Really ? I'd better redo 115 networks tomorow then..

tcp/ip configuration (Bit old, but it does its job..)

If you use a network you only have 1 gateway usually, sometimes 2, so all PC's in the same network have the same gatway, subnet mask and most likely the same DNS. This even aplies when the entire network only consists of 2 computers and a router.

BTW I guess in your case the router is the gateway..... :-o

FTP is pretty simple, there are many FTP server progs for Windows, and for the Amy there are some to, just use google to find them for Windows or install the IIS FTP services (Make sure you enable the adminstrative tools in the startbar for easy access), and maybe Aminet for the Amiga..

Don't know much about the Amy ones, but FTP servers are in general more secure then sharing the windows folders, still, if you want to share folders in XP, turn off the "use simple file sharing" under tools/folder options [view] (The tools menu when you open a folder in Windows).. Make sure you don't share the root of you Widows PC, only some folders, then share in the properties dialog, not forgetting the security settings of the SHARE, not the folder/files.. Well, some people seem to think it's saver anyway...
