Yay! Got an ethernet card

[ErrethAkbe]

I don't particularly care about surfing so much as downloading amiga files from the web.  I have little need to use it for surfing.  If I can get a functional browser at almost any level that will suffice for the amiga.  Alternately, I'll be happy if I can use it to transfer files from my PC faster than over the serial port. :-)

This is exactly what I use mine for. Also, it's very handy to have for transferring files to and from other computers on my network. For that, I have variously used AmigaSamba, FTP and AmigaExplorer for the job. All work fine but have advantages and disadvantages.

The driver I am using is here. I've tried the others on AmiNet and this one works the best for me.

HTH,

Marc

You should consider doing it the other way around using smbfs to mount your pcs shares on your Amiga as normal volumes instead, which imho is a much more practical solution, and forget about running the Amiga as a samba server.

Hi Patrik,

You're right! I downloaded SMBFS and it works quite well. Beware, though; it limits the maximum number of characters in a filename and if you go over, weird things happen.

Still, this tool is an excellent addition to my arsenal.
