Ami to PC Linkup

[lordv]

I believe the simplest way ever known is to use ethernet network. If you have a1200, just buy pcmcia ethernet adapter. Everything works fine: you can share all the amiga disks to the PC, share PC folders to amiga (using samba client and server on amiga), you can use ftp on both sides and even VNC client on amiga to get look at PC desktop controlling it totally!
As a bonus, you can then share your internet connection to both computers.

RIGHT!

But I've just taken a short look at aminet, there is 3com driver

What about me, I'm using cnet card, and everything OK.

And another little problem with network cards - they often don't reset at machine startup. There are 2 kinds of patches - hardware and software, which work as well.

@ dxrdx

I'm NOT using 3com cards. I have told that there is 3com driver, which appears to solve the problem.
I'm using cnet CN40 card.

What about A1200, you need harddrive (of course!) and Miami. Cnet driver is downloadable from aminet, which works as well with many other cards (except for 3com).
On a4000 I'm using some EB920 card with some drivers from miamidx distribution, everything OK.
