TCP/IP Network help
« on: October 29, 2006, 09:16:25 PM »
Okay, so I installed drivers for my PCMCIA card and AmiTCP using this guide: http://www.acc.umu.se/~patrikax/amiga/guides/AmiTCP_Install/.

I think I've got it installed properly, but I know little about network configuration. I think the problem has to do with the ip adresses or something. Here's a pic of my network:

The router is connected to the internet of course, I forgot to draw that.

The Amiga is configured with the IP address 192.168.0.77 using 192.168.1.1 as its gateway. I don't know if it's correct, but I don't plan on connecting to the internet with it right now anyway. I tried changing it to the IP of the adapter in the PC it's connected to (192.168.0.251) but that didn't work at all. First of all I want to be able to ping my PC :(

Windows indicates that the cable is connected every time I start the amiga up, so I don't think it's the cable.

Any network gurus know what to do?  :-?

Thanks, I could get internet on it, too, by bridging the connections like motorollin suggested. It's really slow though, I get around 1000 CPL with AmiFTP on the local network. Is that because of my amiga being slow (A1200 with 8MB RAM card, stock 68ec020) or am I doing something wrong?

Do you think that the bridging is causing the slow speed?

The thing is that the router is pretty far away from my room. I don't want to move my amiga, and I DON'T want a long LAN cable through the whole house :)

I will move to a new house soon, and the previous owners have already put cables in the walls so all the rooms have wire access to the office (without cables laying around all over the floor).

But I still want to get the network going, because I'm pretty impatient with stuff like this :pissed:
