A wise man once told me...

That might indicate that your ethernet card's initial setup went pear-shaped.
Remove all interface-related config entries and try again...
Remember: MiamiInit is your friend ;)

That's what the 'default gateway' setting's for...
... Which is unavailable if your interface has been set up for
a single-segment LAN initially.

And then....

I decided to give my head a very large bang on the table and
realised the obvious... why not use the MiamiInit facility to set
things up. I did this and worked first time. Had problems negotiating
DNS but as ever with Amiga software, wasn`t put off by this and
just went round it. The Amiga found the hub network address
and set that all up. And it works. The emails just flew in, my
goodness. A 1993 Amiga using broadband... whoo hoo.

I have now lossed the Amiga off the home network, but that I can
probably resolve. Worst case I can just load the old config ... There
really is always a way round things with the Miggy.

And so I can either have the ethernet online and use my Samba with my other PCs or use my other config for just using broadband with the Amiga. I have never been able to have both my internal network working and the broadband online. Once I tagged the default gateway all went fine.

This is assuming you are using the cardreset tool for the bug with the PCMCIA.
