A-OS 4 and Roadshow default config?

[amigau]

OK - I *finally* got my AmigaOne rolling (too much work, job searching and other silly side projects got in the way between when I obtained the computer and finally got it set up tonight).....Anyway, what's weird is that I can only seem to get online if I create a New Connection every time - yet I'm pretty sure that's NOT required for a conventional ethernet connection - what's more, it never seems to actually *save* the connection I created before from reboot to reboot?

I have Miami on the machine too and can flip back to that most likely, but I'd prefer to use the new stuff if at all possible.  I haven't upgraded the machine to 4.1 yet - is that the way to go, are there new config GUIs for Roadshow there, or?

I'm just thinking it should be pretty simple, yet there seems to only be one cryptic config text file in there otherwise?

sign me ignorant but a quick learner?

i'll look on the former - the latter I had to comment out to get the thing to finally go into WB on its own - otherwise it just 'sat there' with a black screen.  Could it be an issue with its ability (or inability) to access the router it's attached to or something?

good test case.  I'll try that and post back my results, and compare with Miami too for add'l data.  I tend to use D-Link routers but we'll see...

ok - got it to work.  I think it was a combination of:

1) extra redundant 'devices' in Devs/Netinterfaces (which were really all the same network card;

2) I uncommented the line in startup-sequence and commented out the section with the wildcard in it - I specified the 'eth3com' device directly (>45~with the QUIET switch of course)

will further test/post if there are problems with different routers but doubt that will be the case.  So I'm now posting this with the AmigaOne - hooray

yeah - I use DHCP on most of the little internal routers I have.  I upgraded the computer to OS 4.1 tonight and while it still didn't like that wildcard setting in the Startup-sequence (hardcoding it to 'c:addnetinterface eth3com QUIET' fixes it though) it's working great otherwise.

I got OWB to work also, even though it's a bit on the slow side compared to IBrowse - but the former DEFINITELY doesn't support CSS, most obviously on Yahoo mail....

it's SO GOOD to be using an Amiga again!  I've been using FreeBSD for some time on Thinkpads, which is ok (and definitely better than WinBLOWs) but it's not the 'fun' computer - the Amiga.

onward and upward
