I'm not sure why you would have to connect your 1200 directly to you pc to reconfigure your IP addresses, unless I'm missing something wierd it should be pretty straightforward connecting. If you PCMCIA card is supported, you should be able to configure it as a network adapter via Genesis, which is included in the OS3.9 CD. (Someone else might have to help with configuring that, I use Miami, which will also work) The driver I use for this is availableon Aminet (
3c589.lha), though thats for a 10mbps 3com. If your router supports DHCP, you should be able to set it to devs:networks/3c589.device unit 0, (or whatever device drive your card uses) hit online, and watch it connect. The only other thing to worry about with the 1200's PCMCI port is it doesn't reset when you reset the computer, a problem with solutions ranging from soldering stuff onto the MOBO (I'm usually a bit nervous about that), to a shell program that will "force" the pcmcia slot to reset. (
CardReset.lha, also on Aminet) This also works well in a script file, if you wanted to launch it when your TCP stack starts. (Miami lets you do this, but it'll crash if Miami tries to connect when the card is resetting, a simple Wait command in the script should fix this, I just launch mine off a dock menu) Hope this helps!
