networking

[moondynejo]

ok now i have no doubt this has been asked before but i have searched the net to no avail so i am asking here and i hope someone can help me.

the basic gyst of what i want to do is transfer my whdload games to my amiga HD via my 3com ethernet pcmcia card.

i have the drivers and can access the net with aweb now all i need is a good way to transfer files. I have tried amiga explorter using null modem cable but cannot seem to get it to work using the network card.

if anyone has a recommnded program/way to do what i want please tell me (with link if possible)

i am running os 3.9 and am not completely clueless about networking.

lastly as an ultimate idewal i would like to have the amiga as part of my MSHOMe network if possible but anything will do ftp etc...

thanks in advance

thanks guys,

i would like to get sama working but to start with i will try smbfs

thanks for the help

well i am afraid i didnt have much luck with smbfs i keep getting an error code when trying to run it.

did manage to get amiga explorer running which is very nice.
the problem was port 356 being blocked by genesis.
luckily the amiga foirever site has the solution.

unfortunately its pretty slow i only get about 40k to the amiga and about 20k from it. Much beter than the serial connection but not what i had hoped for.

is smbfs likely to be faster than that if i can get it working? and does anyone know an easy to follow guide that may help me troubleshoot my problem?
i used the samba for idiots guide but it deals more with samba than smbfs.

any further help would be apprieciated.
