I had trouble getting Miami to recognise the IP's of my cable modem. Not having a router, I simply reset my modem every time I hook it to the PCMCIA ethernet card on my A1200. If you're switching between another computer and the Amiga, you may be experiencing the same problem. Also, play with the SANA II settings if need be. Mine have to be set to 'DHCP' in order for me to get a gateway.

If you continue to have problems after configuring DHCP, remove your PCMCIA card, reset the computer and insert it *after* the system boots.

Some motherboards have a PCMCIA reset problem in that the card does not get recognised upon bootup/resets. A capacitor soldered between a pin on Gayle and wherever corrects this. I've got cardpatch installed, but sometimes my system hangs when I have my CF card in the system upon startup. Not always, but often. Never seem to experience hang-ups when my ethernet card is installed though (upon startup).

Hmmm... yes, try those cardreset and cardpatch progs. Doubt that's the problem though. Sounds like you have a Miami setting issue...
