Installing XSurf 3cc -- difficulties

[sdyates]

I just bought a new X-surf 3cc and am getting frustrated withg the installation -- making windows look simple!

The install english requires AmiTCP Genesis install... boggles me why this was not included. Oddly enough, there is a AMITCP folder on the cd, but no way to install.

Could someone walk me through this either here or through MSN duck499@hotmail.com.

Thanks,
Simon

I bought from Amigakit, so I got a small cd and the main installation cd if this helps anyome.

I have OS 3.1.

You make it sound simple...

It recommends genesis, but will work with Miami, and no I am not using the IDE controller.

So, where do i get Miami from?

I'm pretty sure you have to have 3.9 bb2 in order to use the gui to configure genisis.  Otherwise it must be setup manually.  I have an x-surf and don't use genisis.. where did you read that it requires genisis?  Miami works fine with mine.  Connection is 1024mb cable.  Just copy x-surf.device to "sys:devs" and xsurfide to "sys:c" (assuming you are using one or both IDE channels on the card).  If thats the case add "C:xsurfide" to your user-startup file.  Run miaminitconfig and select x-surf.device unit 0.  Save the miamiconfig file, run miami, import the config...thats it.

You'll have to forgive me. While I can set up gateways on freebsd and know how to install network cards on wintel boxes, I am lost with the amiga.

I figured I could install a network card with everything that came in the box. All I have is the small CD provided by amigakit and the main install cd from xsurf.

The small cd is called easynet -- I did nto install as the software did not say what it does -- appears it could be a browser of some sort...sorry for being green, but documentation is poor

Yes, amigakit is awesum. I have installed easynet... but for some reason, I can't get onto my own network, let alone outside. I can ping the loopback, but not even the ip I gave to the miggy....

I will call him tomorrow or Monday for support.
