Has any1 andle this before and get DHCP to work properly, any help will be apreciated.
Yes, I have! First I'll sum up all the equipment that is connected:
- Amiga-A1200
- Amiga-A1
- XP-Box
- XP-Laptop
They take up all the ports of the DHCP-enabled router that is further connected trough an ADSL-modem to the outer world.
All computers EXCEPT Amiga-A1200 use DHCP. DHCP range runs from 1 to 150 on the router (i.e. 192.168.1.1 to 192.168.1.150). Of that range the A1200 takes up 192.168.1.149.
Bear in mind that a DHCP-serverhands out a particular IP to a certain computer only once. The next time you connect again to the DHCP-server (the router) you get the same IP again for the same computer. Which is a very fine thing.
In both L:'s I,ve put SMB-handler which uses mount files.
Somewhere I keep mount files. One for every share on the computer to be connected to. These shares have to be defined in smb.config. Keep in mind that SaMBa is a beast!
But first things first: can you 'ping' your A4000 form the PC (START-->Execute -->ping
)?
If this one fails then you have to check cabling, router settings and the A4000's IP/TCP-stack.
If it does NOT fail then you have to check your SaMBa-settings.
Feel free to ask more. I've got this setup running since last Sunday and it works flawlessly!
Have success,
Jettah
