Manually configuring AmiTCP/IP
« on: August 22, 2006, 09:31:19 PM »
fx has kindly provided me with an AmiTCP boot disk. It has a cut down installation of AmiTCP/IP on it. I am trying to configure the interface so it uses FastEthernet.device, but I can't find which file to edit. The installer isn't included on the disk to configure it that way. Can anyone tell me where to find the correct config file? I've searched all the directories but can't find it anywhere.

Thanks

I've edited the interfaces file to add the fastethernet.device, and changed Provider.conf to use the new interface and use the correct IP configuration. But when I run startnet it just hangs when trying to obtain the hostname. Any thoughts?

I've got pci.library in LIBS: and pciinfo in C:. I don't know what else I need. If I type pciinfo in to the shell then it lists the cards but not the names for some reason. (They show as unknown)

Ok, I changed the local host's IP address in the hosts file to match the interface's IP address and it now goes online with no errors. However, I can't ping anything on my network (no replies). I can ping the machine's own IP address, but not the gateway. I know the IP configuration and cabling is ok as I can access the network when I boot in to OS3.9 :-(

I'll check the capitalisation, though I suspect the problem is linked to not being able to see the names of the PCI devices in pciinfo. I'll have a look at the Mediator installer and see what it copies in case I missed something.

Hmmm, I don't think EasyNet will fit on a floppy disk will it?

@Patrik
Just read your updated comment. If it does need P96 running then I'll have to use a boot CD instead of a floppy. I'll check the other bits first anyway.

I've just checked and everything from the Mediator System FIles folder on the Elbox driver CD is on the floppy, but it still shows all the cards as "Unknown". Even without P96 running, my OS3.9 install recognises all the cards when I run pciinfo. Do you think that could be related to the problem with the network card?

No, the Mediator works fine when I boot OS3.9. In the end I made a copy of a Workbench disk and installed the Mediator drivers on to it properly. Then PCIInfo correctly reported all of the cards. I then incorporated fx's network bootdisk in to the Workbench disk, booted from the disk, started AmiTCP, and hey presto I can map drives with smbfs to my MacBook from the floppy :-D
