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,

You'r welcome. If you experience any troubles with SaMBa, feel free to getin touch. Over the weeks I've become a near-expert... ;-)

Enjoy life,

Next on, printing... have you been able to print form the Amiga to a printer attached to the PC?


No, I haven't ventured out on such an enterprise yet. It is a part of the universe that I still have to explore... :-o

Nice to see things are working again.
