I'm trying to troubleshoot an issue with a plipbox (stops working after a few web page loads). I'm running OS3.9 and therefore I tried using Genesis with the plipbox. Lafalla's instructions indicate that DHCP isn't supported so I needed to use static addresses.. no problem, I assigned it 192.168.1.236. After running into issues with it not working after a few web pages (have to power down both Amiga and plipbox to get it to work again) I loaded MiamiDX. I followed Lafalla's instruction which indicated DHCP was supported but when after bringing the plipbox interface online, I discovered that when I ran miamiifconfig eth0: I got 192.168.1.236 as an IP address (same as the static from Genesis settings). If, after a power down, I don't load purposely load Genesis GUI, does it do anything (i.e., is there some routine that loads the AmiTCP/Genesis configuration on startup and assigns eth0: its static address?)
It might be that I have a smart enough router to feed the plipbox a DHCP-requested IP address equal to the static one I had used (would assume it had it in its ARP table) but I want to know if there is any issue with having both Genesis and MiamiDX on the same computer?
ok with both on same machine.
DHCP can be flakey on miamidx. might set it static to be safe.
Dont forget to enter dns's in miami if you havent in database/dns servers i think(if they are missing many times u can ping a numeric ip like 8.8.8.8 but not get to
http://www.google.com) for example.
