Not Happy with the Xsurf

[Dalamar]

How funny, I just received mine from Software Hut as well and it took just as much time for me to get it.  I had my share of speed bumps getting it going but I've been able to sort out most of it.  I suppose I'm a bit more fortunate that I had a CDROM and the necessary disk space.  What version of Workbench you running and what machine?  

I'm replying to this post on my Amiga (first post on my Amiga ever) so it works.  It was not a "slam dunk" though to get going.  Given that it's fresh in my mind perhaps I can help.

Yes. You need to get an IP stack first.  I'm using the Genesis one that comes on the OS3.9 CD.  Miami is hard to come by because you can't get codes for it anymore.  I would recommend you throw a CD drive in there soon, my life was hell with this 4000 until I did.    Once you decide on the stack, you need to get it installed first, then you have to install the Xsurf software.  My install didn't go well, and I had to help it by editing the StartEthernet script to correct the paths that the installer made.  It's not pretty to setup, but it is most fun.  I'm running OS3.9 and believe me that was a project from WB 3.0.

I'm pretty sure they are yes.  I haven't loaded anything from there other than what was invoked by the installer.   :-)

Don't know how this version compares to the one on Aminet
