AmiTCP 2.2 + iBrowse 2.4: No connection

[motorollin]

I've just got AmiTCP 2.2 installed and configured under 3.1. I can ping other devices on the network and web sites too, and can ftp in to Aminet. So I know the connection is working.

I then installed iBrowse 2.4, but it won't see the connection. I get the error "Unable to open bsdsocket library or compatible networking interface", as if the TCP/IP stack wasn't running.

Is this a known problem? A configuration issue? Or something else?

I tried 3.0b2 but it kept asking for a root password during the install, and also when it tried to log in (to what I have no idea!) I Googled a bit and found that this may be a bug so went for 2.2 instead.

I'll try the 2.3 patch and Wurzel's suggestion and see if either makes any difference.

I was trying to avoid using Genesis if possible. I want my 3.1 install to be as lightweight as possible. I will try upgrading my current installation of AmiTCP to 3.0 and see if that works. Failing that I'll use Genesis.

You're a miracle worker! :-) I modified your script to copy the files to a directory in RAM and removed the parts which format and initialise the disk. I then used parts of the startup-sequence as a new startnet script and it's all working beautifully - including iBrowse :-D

Thanks again
