Hi
Had a very odd couple of days with the Amiga 1200 and networking. All was fine running the computer through the Ethernet to two Windows98 machines. I then used the computer to connect to an XP machine. All was fine until I linked to the C drive. At first I thought it was permissions as the drive was not set to share.
The issue related to a simple crashing of the 1200 and even blue lines appearing on open drawers.
Process: Run my CardReset Tool... Open MiamiD... put the card online... run my NMBD script and then run my script to open connections to computers all using Samba. The odd things that happened ranged from crashing, to not being able to open things like DOpus. I even had errors like missing LIBS and missing DOpus Libs. Even opened the wrong DOpus. I removed the share from the XP machine C drive. I moved Samba to a fresh drive thinking it may be the drive that was problematic. I checked my nmb logs and even deleted the whole thing. Snoop didn’t pick up anything.
Seems to have settled, though I do get the odd yellow recoverable alert. If I leave a good space now between firing up the nmb script and actually activating DOpus I don’t seem to get any problems. The computer runs without fault generally, feels like a memory issue and bad memory. Just crashes out. But only with Miami running Samba.
The XP machines are very odd the way they interact with the Amiga. The Windows98 machines log and that is it. With the XP machine I get a looping hd pulse that you can clearly hear going on. The scripts and processes are all the same. Quite simple really. I think the XP as an extra layer of communication that is conflicting with the Amiga. I tried to find the old Samba group but can’t seem to locate it.
Anyway.. working in a fashion.
NewOrder.. loud seems to help. MrDisco.
