Help needed with Miami

[rvrhijn]

I've just bought an Amiga 1200 with a 3com ethernetcard (PCMIA). I've installed Miami, but when I run MiamiInit the procedure stops. My intention is to copy files form a pc to the amiga, so internet is not needed. In MiamiInit I give in the name of my device and it start looking for the dhcp server, which can't be found. But then I return to the screen where you can specify the name of the device, so I can't go any further because when I press continue the same thing happens. Can someone please help me? :-?

Thanks, but I don't see any possibility on the amiga site for a static ip.

I've been looking for Miamidx on the net but I can't seem to find it anywhere.

I've read about AmiTCP, and I've downloaded a demoversion from aminet, but I can't get it to the 1200 on disks.

Thanks for the advice. I've installed AmiTCp 3.02b and it seems to work fine. However, I use Amiga Explorer and I still can't get a connection. When I use ping to check it gives a timeout.

Turning off the firewall doesn't work either.

The guide from fx was great. Thank you. I've had some luck so far: when I ping (from both the pc and the amiga) I get a response. The next problem is that Amiga Explorer keeps saying "error connecting with the Amiga server: TCP/IP socket not found".

Any suggestions?

I'm sure all the firewalls are off.

My configuration is:
Amiga 1200 HD.
3COM PCMIA T3 ethernetcard (3c589) plugged into a pc.
There's only 1 ethernetcable plugged into the pc.
The Amiga's IP address is 192.168.0.3
The PC's IP address is 192.168.0.2
Subnetmask is 255.255.255.0
Default gateway: none

I wish it was that easy.....I'm using a crossed one  :cry:

[rvrhijn]

Yes, "Microsoft file and printer sharing" is enabled.

There's only 1 ethernet card (onboard).

No, I'm not running Samba on the Amiga.

What do you mean exactly bij copying files by using the PC?

Hi Thomas,

The reason I've tried AmiTCP is that I can't seem to configure Miami with my MiamiInit on my Amiga (see my first post). It simply doesn't go any further after searching for the dhcp server. Maybe you can help me out?

Each of these "searching for xy" windows has a "cancel" and a "skip" button. A click on the "skip" button let's you continue without finishing the search. Only if you click on "cancel" or if you let the search fail you are dropped back to the previous step.

But that's just the problem: when I press skip I can't continue (by pressing the continue butto he starts looking again for the dhcp server)

Anyway you don't need MiamiInit. You can as well enter the values into Miami's GUI.

You'r absoluty right, I've just entered the values in Miami's GUI. Miami goes online and AExplorer opens with a tcp/ip connection, but I still get the same message. From the PC I can't ping the ip of the Amiga anymore.

Hi Thomas,

I've entered the following values:

In Miami:
interface type Sana II Ethernet
IP statice 192.168.0.3
Netmask static 255.255.255.0
Gateway static 192.168.0.2 (I didn't exactly know what to enter here, so I've entered the IP of the PC)

When I use Miamiping and enter the IP of the Amiga I get a correct respons. When I pinr the IP of my PC I get the message "wrote 192.168.0.2 64 chars, ret=-1".

On the PC is Xp service pack 2 installed. I have 1 ethernetcard onboard (and a wireless pcicard). I connect the PC and Amiga with a crosses ethernetcable. When I ping 192.168.0.3 form the PC I get a timeout and no response.

When I start Aexplorer on the Amiga it opens a TCP/IP connection. When I start Aexplorer on the PC I get the message "TCP/IP socket not found".

Any idea what I'm doing wrong? i thougt ethernet wpuld be an easy way to connect teh PC and Amiga, but I'm getting a little desperate now...

I'm even thinking about buying a cdrom player to use for transfering files instead of TCP/IP.

Lan:

IP 192.168.0.2
subnet 255.255.255.0
gateway ?

Wireless:

IP 192.168.2.3
subnet 255.255.255.0
gateway 192.168.2.1

Thanks ChaosLord. I didn't change the subnet but I disabled the wirelesscard and it works great now :-D
