SLIP and XP (Home)

[orange]

I would like to connect Amiga to a PC using nullmodem cable and MiamiDX. (did this with 2 Amigas and got a bit greedy now :-D ) The problem is that MiamiDX.guide explains only connecting to win95/98. The PC should be router. It seems that MiamiDX help tells that BOTH computers should dial each other :-?

How do I configure winXP(Home)?

Hmmm, I probably need one of them to be set as dial-out, not dial-in.

When I go online on Amiga side, I can see PC dialing a number.
But, after clicking "send Break" nothing happens. PC constantly just displays "dialing number".

How should it be set up? :-?  :-?

I hadn't tried what you said, still
I made some progress (finally).
Amiga can ping PC  :banana:

It seems that mdmcisco.inf asks this as reply:
CLIENTSERVER
when PC dials Amiga. So I put that as login name, pressed "send loginid" on Amiga and voila, it worked.
Now all I need is to somehow connect SLIP and Ethernet on PC side ("bridge" is the word, I think) Can that be done in XP home or some external program like Wingate is necessary?


BTW, some help can be found here, too (in case someone needs it):

Yes, I did enter it as gateway. Unfortunately it still doesn't work. I've installed WinGate on XP, but it didn't change anything. This is my setup:

2 PCs +1 cable modem all connected to switch
1 Amiga connected with serial to one of those PC.

Whatever I do, Amiga can't ping the "remote" PC (non serial one). It does try, however, as the network monitor in Wingate shows activity every time I try ping.
I have shut down ALL firewalls, what is there left to try?  :-?  :-?  :-?  :-x

I tried setting SLIP to 192.168.0.1 (PC) and 192.168.0.2 (Amiga), but that didn't change anything.
PC is DIRECTLY (ETHERNET LAN) connected to cable modem and it has Internet connection. The problem is that Windows XP Home doesn't have an option for ICS on LAN adapter, only on dialups. And if I try to set ICS on SLIP (which is probably silly, but hey what the heck..) it warns me that LAN adapter would be set to 192.168.0.1 which probably means byebye Internet.. :-?

pinging anything but 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.1.2 from Amiga doesn't work. Here is "route print" from PCrouter:
