AmiTCP and IBrowse2.3
« on: January 26, 2006, 08:13:15 PM »
Hi folks,
I'm having problems trying to get AmiTCP working with IBrowse.

I was previously using Miami for my TCP/IP and things were working OK after a few weeks tweaking of Miami and Ibrowse! But I couldn't seem to SSL running under Miami and the docs seemed to suggest that it needed a correctly registered version of Miami, so I thought I would give AmiTCP a go.

What happens now is that I can start Amitcp using that run Amitcp:bin/startnet command which appears to make a connection via my Ethernet PCMCIA card (green light on I/F comes on) and port appears to go active on my router. I then start IBrowse but as soon as I try surfing I can see that IBrowse is use cached pages or I rx a "unable to open a bsdsocket library or compatible networking interface". If I then try to start Miami I rx a message indicating that a TCP/IP stack is already running. Also if I try to start Amiga Explorer instead of IBrowse (after running AmiTCP) it looks as if Explorer has detected a TCP/IP session i.e. it seems to using a bsdscoket library ...... but if I start AExplorer on my PC I rx and error message indicating some problem with the TCP/IP session. If I reboot and run Miami both Ibrowse and AExplorer work fine. I must admit I did find the setup of AmiTCP a bit difficult to follow particularly since most of the setting for IP, subnet and gateway are DHCP from my router, so it probably is something to do with the settings I have put in AmiTCP.

Also how do you stop AmiTCP, at the moment I just reboot?

Also can anyone explain why it is that when I start Ibrowse the colours associated with my WB icon names always change to some obscure colour combination?

Hope someone can make sense of this ramble.
Ian

Hi,

thanks for your comments. I didn't realize that the AmiSSL files would work with Miami, but as you stated they do. I'm able to establish SSL with IBrowse via Miami.

I've given IBrowse its own screen now and that seems to have overcome my WB colour problem, it also appears to have made Ibrowse a little more "stable". thanks.
