Help setting up a1200 networking needed
« on: March 12, 2011, 03:34:06 PM »
I finally got ahold of a pcmcia network card for my a1200 (yay by the way :)), but am having trouble getting it to work. Im using (or trying to) MiamiDX. I can see the amiga on my router, but I cant seem to log onto the test ftp server Ive set up, nor can I even ping the address from my windows box. Networking is far from my strong point, but I have used amigs online many times before (have used genesis before now, soley cos it comes with OS3.9) and until now had managed to get things sorted eventually. This time though Im at a bit of a loss. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Near as I can tell this is where I write something under the guise of being innocuous, but really its a pot shot at another persons/peoples choice of Amiga based systems. Unfortunately only I cant see how transparent and petty it makes me look.

Yeah, Ive set it to use a static IP and have assigned it an address within range (not using DHCP). Firewall isnt a problem either.

Pretty sure I have. I can see the amiga on my router at least, mbut that's about as much "success" as I seem to be having.

The Amiga shows up in the list of connected devices on my modem/router page, but I cant ping the amiga from pc or vice versa. Additionally using ftp actually says, "conected to host", but will eventually time out. Im using static ip rather than using dhcp.
Im really at a loss. Things seem to be set up correctly, but there's obviously something amiss. Something like that network boot disk would be useful, but unfotunately I cant write to floppy disks on my amiga (drive is partially dead).

Quote from: Thomas;621552
Go to Hardware, double click your ethernet card, click on SANA-II parameters and click on Query Device. The hardware address (a.k.a. MAC address) should change. It is important that the MAC address is not set to 00:00:00:00:00:00.


Thanks. The MAC address was wrong, although things still seem exactly the same. Cant ping the amiga from pc, cant ping router or pc from amiga. Only thing that seems to be happening is that my router/modem page is aware of the amiga (it's listed in the connections with correct mac address and ip).

This is really starting to annoy the heck out of me.

Well this is part of why I wanted the network at all. So I can actually tansfer files to the Amiga. I have no internet software on the amiga apart from the ftp client built in Dopus Mag2. For now Ive simply been trying to connect to the ftp server I set up on the pc with all my amiga software. To actually transfer files to the amiga Ive currently had to copy files to a cd/dvd, copy to a temporary drawer on my amithlon box. Open my amiga, remove the harddrive, remove my amithlon ide cdrom drive, plug in a sata drive (only 1 port/2 ide drives are attachable to my amithlon box and sata devices dont work with amithlon(I use it simply to boot bootloader)) plug it into my amithlon box, change jumpers, boot amthlon, copy files accross via amiga shell (same names for amiga and amithlon partitions/devices so cant boot in a "normal" way), restore amithlon box to normal, plug the amiga harddrive back into amiga and put the machine back together.
Needless to say its a painful experience that Im more than a little sick of.
All that aside Ive simply been hot plugging/unplugging the pcmcia card to reset it.

Nope, cant ping the router or pc from my amiga, nor can I ping the amiga from the pc.

Yeah I can.
Additionally the router is aware of the amiga being on the network (which makes it weird that I cant ping it), and using query inside miamidx will also detect correct MAC address.

Sort of. It's sometimes ghosted in my router, sometimes not, depending on whether or not there's a connection active. Seems a bit strange to me, but that's how it is.
