Well, I have tried many weeks to make the ethernet deal work and I guess I'm a moron because even with help from folks here it doesn't work. I do everything the way I'm told, notice that there appear to be some subtle differences in what I'm supposed to see along the way, do some "pinging" and such and belly up at the router. Nothing. So sharing files between my A4000T and a PC consists of only those files which will fit onto a DD disk....since the tower doesn't have a DS/HD drive and so far I can't find out how to get a high density drive to work on the tower. Frustrating as hell, but that's one reason why so many people with Amigas throw in the towel and use emulators on fast PCs. I guess the bottom line is that if you have time to study up, a good memory or good note taking ability ethernet is obviously the best way to go for so many reasons, but starting from scratch can be a hair-tearing pain in the butt. Still, I will continue to use my wonderful "miggies" until the last one smokes up and falls down dead. When they work, it's like great sex. When they don't work, it's like living with my ex-wife.
