Genesis DNS
« on: March 29, 2009, 11:56:41 PM »
Hi,

I've dusted off my 1200 and have been working on getting it running again thanks to the EB flicker fixer, 4 way interface and an 8GB flash card....

Anyhow, I've freshly installed WB 3.9 and having a problem with the network...

I'm using a 3com pcmcia card.  Installed genesis and went through the wizard - and I am connected to my network.  Can ping my router etc.

However, its not resolving any WWW names.  Tried bringing up the settings for the card using the "Genesis" entry in the settings menu.... but nothing happens or pops up?

Anybody know how to manually set the dns server entries in genesis?

Also on a side note - I have 128MB of fast ram installed and the graphics memory is still being used up like mad with little use of the fast memory.  Is there any utils to redirect some of the WB graphics memory usage to fast ram?

Can't recall having this issue before, but then my previous amiga setup was in a tower with a mediator and voodoo 3 card...

Thanks.

Hi,

Thanks for that - the problem is that nothing is coming up when I try getting into the settings menu....?

I've already read that the settings for interfaces etc are there but for some reason I open the settings menu, choose "Genesis" from the list (only one there) but nothing comes up.... so I can't change anything in the gui.

hence why I asked if anybody knew where to put the relevant entries in the various settings files.

Thanks for the link to the apps - just what I needed!

Ahh!!  Forgot all about good old SnoopDOS.  Its been a while.  :D

Well, turns out it was asking for two things.  Firstly, MUI (which I thought would have been installed by the installer off the WB3.9 cd - obviously not!) and then a "vapor_toolkit" library.  Got both copied onto my boot disk and I can now get into the prefs.  Added the DNS server entries and I can now ping various websites by name.  

Thanks!

You should install Boingbag 1 at least before starting to use OS 3.9. It has too many bugs without.

Hi,

I already have boing bag 1 and 2 installed.  I installed them straight after a fresh install of wb3.1 & upgrade to 3.9 off my original CD.

Still didn't seem to install MUI though, which is odd.  Nevermind, its all sorted now anyway.   :-D
