a1200 network
« on: May 25, 2004, 04:38:31 PM »
Hi!

I have been searching the web now for some hours, searching for tutorials on how to get the a1200 working over a network.

here is some info about my network:
*a1200 (running wb3.1 with a 3com 3c589 card. only chip mem)
*1ghz pc (running XP as a router/gateway)
*16 ports hub
and a few other computers on the network...

I downloaded miami and installed it (I think it works cause when I run miamiInit I get the ip etc and the green light is glowing on the hub)
But when miamiInit is done the green dot on the hub stops glowing, and when I run miami (just starting it) the green dot wont start glowing on the hub.
I thought maybe it will when I try to use a program on the amiga that will use the network (like an ftp)

so I first downloaded amFTP but I where requesting some library and it was so big so i searched aminet for another ftp program (alot smaller one) and I found ncftp.
I downloaded it and the library ixmul (also from aminet)
but ncftp is still complaining about not finding the library ixmul..

So now I hope that someone of you guys could help me out and find the error...

what I whant to do with the amiga is primary to send/receive files with the other computers.. and maybe (if there is enough memory for it) try an irc client or something.


Thanks!

It was the online button that I missed ^^
But it wont get online if I use dhcp (dhcp worked for miamiinit) so I changed to static and entered 192.168.0.6 as ip address 255.255.255.0 as netmask and 192.168.0.1 for gateway.
When I press online now the amiga will stay online and the lovley green dot will be litted on the hub...
but when I try to ping my amiga I wont receive any response.
Another question is if there is no other way to start the internet? cause miami is eating my memory (21.400 is what i have left when miami is running)

do you know any good and small ftp program? (that is easy to install) ^^
