No Internet

Holy cow, what kind of IPs/masks are you trying to use??

Keep it simple:
- First you choose (or use what comes in the router) a network segment, e.g. 192.168.4.x, netmask 255.255.255.0.
- The network address must use a private IP range and the network mask will be 255.255.255.0 or 255.255.0.0 (for simplicity).
- Next - for each computer you want to connect and the router - you select any previously unused IP within the same network segment. This means that for all used IPs the numbers (octets) where the network mask has a "255" must be the same and where the network mask is "0" the octets must not be the same.

Examples:
network: 192.168.4.x, mask 255.255.255.0 (CIDR: 192.168.4.0/24)
 router: 192.168.4.1
 1st PC: 192.168.4.11
 Amiga: 192.168.4.12
 Mac: 192.168.4.13

network: 192.168.x.y, mask 255.255.0.0 (CIDR: 192.168.0.0/16)
 router 192.168.1.1
 1st PC: 192.168.20.1
 Amiga: 192.168.19.85

On each computer you'll have to set up:
- it's own unique IP address
- the very same network mask for all devices
- the default gateway (your router's IP)

As DNS server you either use your router's IP (if it has a builtin DNS proxy) or your ISP's DNS server.

Hope that helps a bit...

Just for the record: WEP is total crap and can be cracked in less than a minute. WPA is minimum, and WPA2 highly recommended (due to potential attacks on WPA). Unfortunately there's no way an Amiga can attach to WPA/2...

Which is why if you're using a network with WEP-only gear on it (Amigas, Nintendo DS etc.) you should use MAC address filtering once you get it all working how you want it.

Utterly worthless. The MAC address doesn't even get encrypted (technically impossible), so it takes about .001 seconds to fake a working MAC (or 2-3 seconds if you do it manually). The security you gain by filtering isn't worth the trouble.
