Hi there.
I'm using Amithlon and I want to get online. But I have no experience in Amiga Networking so far.
I have a network set up at home. I have a Linux server connecting to the internet (DSL) and routing
the net-connection to the three other desktops. On one of them I'd like to set up Amithlon to
be able to connect to the internet. I have no problems getting online with either Windows or Linux.
From Windows my network card-settings look like this:
3Com Etherlink XL 10/100 PCI NIC (3C905-TX)
Location 5 (PCI bus0, device 12, function 0)
IO-Range C400-C43F
IRQ 11
I know Amithlon only supports NE2000 network cards, which should include most cards as the
documentation shows. But I'm not sure if my card is NE2000 compatible.
I did try to install the genesis demo and then the used the powerne2k.device. I tried all possible
unit-numbers, but the install won't continue. At Unit 0 it tells me that it cannot reset card
(Incompatible card?). I'm not sure if this is because it's the wrong unit-number or if it is
because the 3COM Etherlink XL is simply not supported.
If the 3COM card is unsupported are there any proper device-drivers available for it?
Am I doing something else wrong?
Any help is most welcome.
Regards,
Ohno
