Ok so i have just purchased EasyNet from amigakit and have also purchased some edo ram for my accelerator card as it is not pcmcia friendly with more than 4mb of ram. when they both come i will give it another try and see how i get on and get back to you all, fingers crossed it works, if it doesn't then i will be very sad

Ok so i have installed my new ram i have done a hot swap with my network card ran genesis the installatin went great andi encountered no errors i can go online but wheni start Aweb and try to enter an address like http://www.google.co.uk it does not allow it saying "Error While retrieving URL:http://www.google.co.uk" any ideas?

[carvedeye]

No idea about this card but could it be a DNS issue? if you try by IP does it work? (http://www.google.co.uk resolves as http://209.85.146.147)

Do you get your ip over DHCP? or use a manually configured static address?

If you need to specify a DNS server try OpenDNS Primary 208.67.222.222 Secondary 208.67.220.220

Yeah I get my ip over DHCP

Configured my network i can now access the google web page thanks, now all i need to do now is to share my pc drives with my amiga what is the best way to do this ?

FTP is a great idea but i would much prefer to just be able to share the drives.
