Wanted: Networking for Beginners/Idiots
« on: January 12, 2006, 08:13:49 PM »
Ok heres what Ive got:
Laptop running XP with Wireless Internet connection comming through a PCI card
Amiga 1200 with Viper 060 +64MB ram running OS3.9

Ive linked the 2 with a XOver cabel going through a network card in the a1200s PCMCIA slot.

Ive used Genesis to make the connection and I can Ping my PC from Amiga and vice versa.

My question ??
What do I do now to transfer files and go on the internet with my amiga??

I bet this question has been asked loads of times so feel free to link me to other threads and thanks in advance

Right thanks to your help I can now use AWEB to view the internet!! HOOORRAAAY THANKS ALL!!

However-- I can only seem to get on yahoo. Anyone know why that is??
When I do go on yahoo I get some error messages but thats due to not having the compatable software to open things.


Just found the network status box and it just says looking up on anything but the main yahoo.co.uk or yahoo.com pages
