A2000-HD TCP/IP
« on: January 28, 2005, 12:52:47 PM »
Hello,

I recently came into a A2000-HD.  I managed to get it all set up last night and had fun messing with it.  However since I am on unfamilar ground (and google is being fickle) I thought I'd post some initial questions I had.  Sorry if these have been posted before but I couldn't quite cull what I wanted from the search feature here.

1. I have an ethernet 'card'.  It plugs into a card in the back and says: TPT 92 Series, by Cabletron Systems.  I plug it in and the power light comes on.  Connecting it to my network brings up the link light.  I did some cursory searching in the shell and found what I am assuming is a text browser (since I am familiar with lynx on linux) called Alynx.  However an attept to start it errors with: You must first start AMItcp (or something close).  I tried searching around in various directories and couldn't find that (it may not be installed).  This brings up several issues:

2. Could someone point me toward a quick and dirty tutorial for the amiga shell

3. I could also use a tutorial on how to get an amiga connected to a network (as this may solve a few of my problems)

4. how in the heck does one delete a file?? :)  I was very pleased to find vim in one dir, and decided to fire it up to see it in action...well I saved the file and 'rm' and 'del' don't work (I bet you are chuckling at me now :)

5. I was also curious to learn more about the system, is there a way to list installed hardware. Similar to 'cat /proc/cpuinfo' etc?

The OS is 3.0.  I am assuming from what I have read that workbench is the GUI riding on the OS, but I am unclear as to what version I have running.  

Any help is really appreciated, sorry for the long post, I am just eager to get up and running and it feels kind of neato to be on unfamiliar ground :)

TIA

I will reply to the other posts later, after I try some of the stuff you folks posted (thanks!)

But to Patrik (or someone else:), is there a standard directory where one might expect to find AMItcp?  And to start it I am assuming I simply type it's name.  See I am getting bitten a bit by being a linux user) in linux you'd have to specify the absolute path to the init script and then start|stop|restart the service...thanks again!

Too Much,

hmmm, it says (at the top of the GUI screen) "AmigaOS 3.0"

One thing I did fail to mention which might be important is that during boot a small box pops up and says "BETA Release for Registered Developers only, do not redistribute"

*shrug* not sure if that matters or not.
