a4000 ethernet

HI

Someone told me you could fit a PCMCIA connector to a 4000. Not sure. Shame it didn`t come as standard. My A1200 has a PCMCIA ethernet which other than the reset issue works like magic.

On that other matter..

Here at work we have an NT box acting as domain controller, DHCP (which I could NEVER get to work on the Amiga). Entered the LAN gateway IP and the two DNS servers our ISP said to use (ran ipconfig/all on my XP box to verify the info). I have also tried a static IP. It not only can't ping anything on the LAN, it can not see external addresses, either.

I use Miami and could only use broadband with IP, Netmask and Gateway set to DHCP. Multicasts is diabled.. Then in the Interface TCP/IP settings set TCP/IP to use ICMP and enable DHCP. The poor thing never resolves IP addresses but still goes hammering through the BTHomehub onto the net.

Hi

You may have put the interface online, but connecting through the router to broadband or the network generally is another matter. With Miami on the A1200 I have to first do the old card reset from an icon on my desktop. Then I fire up Miami and put either the ethernet card online on my network or fire up the other setting for broadband connection. I then run NMBD from a script I created so that that Amiga can be seen by other PCs on the network. Then I fire up YAM... I have two accounts. No problem with Samba which I configured myself. I have used Genesis but found it less configerable ( if that is a word ). As I said, Miami can never resolve the IP addresses with the BTHomeHub but ploughs through it on line. If Genesis can`t do that then you will have a problem.

The homehub network will not work with my own local intranet I can have one or the other. Not a problem as I say I have two settings for the interface. But to get through the hub I have to let the Amiga auto detect the IP route otherwise I just can`t get on line. Its that negotiation that is causing the problm here.
