Help setting up a1200 networking needed

[save2600]

When I had an A1200, I too used Miami and DHCP without problems. Networking to a PC aside for the moment, can you get your Amiga online at least with a direct connection from the modem to the PCMCIA card?

You may have to delete your current Miami config and start over with DHCP, etc. Using my cable provider, I couldn't simply take the ethernet cable off of one computer and plug it into the Amiga. I had to always reset my modem and get a new address in order for the Amiga to become online aware so to speak. Didn't have a router at the time.

And someone else already mentioned the reset bug fix which can be found off Aminet:

...have you tried that yet?

I know *exactly* how you feel about just wanting stuff like this to work. I'm having lots of "fun" that way with my MacMini and MorphOS every other day. Still can't get it to network or share the internet with my G5.  :mad:

You gotta have a lot of patience, do some reading, ask some questions, learn how to interpret other peoples english and fiddle-faddle around 'til you accidentally get some of these features to finally work. Never underestimate the importance of deleting a config file and restarting your computer before having a go at it again either. I've experienced hauntings in AmigaOS too, where simply warm-booting the computer isn't good enough. Gotta turn it off for several seconds and then turn it back on. Prefs:envarc in RAM: can be a stubborn bitch.  lol

Hang in there and experiment long enough and things start to come around, usually. Hopefully that happens for your before you start smashing things to bits.   :lol:
