Re: Amiga 1200 and the Samsung gallaxy s4

For lack of an Amiga with wifi, I've tried both my Android devices (a Samsung SIII and an Acer A501 tablet) as wifi hotspots and connected via wifi to them.  Both have given me the following results:

IP Address: 192.168.43.XXX
Gateway: 192.168.43.1
Netmask: 255.255.255.0
DNS1: 192.168.43.1
DNS2: 0.0.0.0
Server IP: 192.168.43.1
Channel: 6

The only difference between connecting to the two was the final number in the assigned IP Address.
I hope this helps.

192.168.x.x addresses are used on lans, they are not real addresses.  Your DNS is not right, use 8.8.8.8 or 8.8.4.4, these are Google's DNS servers.

I was using the android devices as a portable hotspot, so as far as anything connecting to the portable hotspot is concerned they are on a wlan, and thus get 192.168.x.x (and in the case of Android devices, apparantly it's 192.168.43.x).  And the DNS is fine, since the phone is acting as a modem router, there's no real point in bypassing it.  I am browsing the internet using the details I provided earlier, so I know they work.
I was giving Mr Moonlight some info that his Amiga would need to communicate with his S4 when his S4 is acting as a portable hotspot, which is what he was asking for earlier.
