Amiga PC Network
« on: January 25, 2006, 12:55:39 PM »
Since my floppy drives died a death I've decided to network my A1200 to my Windows 2000 PC. I bought a 3COM network card and a LAN cable from ebay. This also came with software for both the Amiga and PC. I've plugged the card into the A1200 and inserted the LAN cable into the port on the back of the PC.

I've run AmiTCP on the Amiga, installed the driver from Aminet and run the program PCMCIA driver. The little light at the end of the cable where it meets the card has now lit up. On the PC side I've run a program called BabyFTP... and now I'm stuck. How do I get the two machines to recognise eachother and then transfer files?

Thanks for the reply. I've got a program called AmiFTP which loads fine. Once it's running though it doesn't seem to do much.

In AmiFTP the only options I have are to enter the name of a site or local drawer. Nothing seems to be happening when I enter my IP address.

I'm using AmiFTP 1.843. I can't transfer files to the Amiga the way I used to with 720k MSDOS disks as the floppies have stopped working. So I'm kind of stuck with what I've got at the moment.

This is a stupid question but where do I ping the PC from on the Amiga? In MSDOS it's a command but it's not a recognised Amigados command.

Thanks for the replies. I can always run that Italian site through Babelfish when I get home.
