Host Lookup failed, no DNS entry found?

[carvedeye]

Hi I am trying to get Genesis setup due to having to re-install everything onto a new hard drive and I keep getting this error whenever ibrowse is trying to load a site and ideas?

Here what I have done in regards to setting it up.

1. Chosen Network
2. Located the driver FastEthernet.Device
3. Entered IP 192.168.0.40
    Netmask is 255.255.255.0
    Router IP 192.168.0.1
4. DNS: 194.168.4.100 (Virgin Media)
    Domain Name: Virgin.net

But I keep getting "Host Lookup failed, no DNS entry found?"

Try changing your DNS IP to the same as your router.
regards Draby

I have already tried that and still getting the same outcome

Did you use the GEnesis wizard to setup the network?

Yes I ran the wizard and I have tried both my ISP DNS and my routers IP but still getting the same error.

what is the rest of your amiga hw config?

All cards worked fine before the HDD failure.

A1200T: M1230XA 50Mhz 68030 w/64mb,
DVDRom, 120gb hdd,
Mediator LT4
Realtek 8139 LAN Card
Radeon 9250 128mb(used for fast ram),
Spider USB Card, Voodoo 3 3000
OS 3.9 +bb 1-2

Ok so I have formatted my hard drive and reinstalled AmigaOS 3.9 with both boing bags.
Re-Installed the mediator software and have installed both my GFX Card and Network Card I then installed EasyNet and I have ran snoopdos when I open easynet (before actually connecting online) and this is what it is saying.

I would recommend you use roadshow.  I did lots of testing years ago and it gave the least amount of issues and the greatest performance.

I have a mediator card also.

I will give the demo a try and let you know

I swear to god I give up I really do, the Amiga is one complicated computer I have been building and repairing pc's for over 19 years and I am A+ Certified so I am no noob when it comes to computers but this system is driving me around the bend it really is I feel like throwing in the towel

Well I have tried to get the stupid Amiga 1200 online but still no look, I have went back to Workbench 3.1 and upgraded to OS 3.9 just in case it was a bad install, I then went and setup everything up ie.. installed Genesis and all the boing bags, installed mui 3.8 and still no luck. I can't even ping my router or any of my systems on my network it just comes up saying unknown command? if anyone has any other ideas please let me know.

Is your Networkcard known good ? I never had any Problems with Mediator and the Network....

Yes my Network card is fine, I purchased it from Amigakit and it said on the description that it is compatible with the mediator. Here is link to card I have.

I have installed EasyNet and used the settings that you gave but its still not going online?

[carvedeye]

I have also noticed that its lights are red so I have a feeling the card might be faulty.

[carvedeye]

I think I am gonna buy a new network card just to make sure it is hardware and not software, what do you guys think? I have been on ebay and looking at what will be compatible. Here is a link to the cards I have been looking at.

Cards with these chipsets should work:

Texas                    RTL8139A
                  Realtek 8139 A/B/C/D
                  Accton Tech. Corp. RTL8139
                  D-link RTL8139
                  Delta RTL8139A
                  Addtron RTL8139

I think it may be down to my router as I am now using the new hub3 from virgin media and before I got it my Amiga was fine online. I gonna hook up my old router to see if that's the problem.

As long as you cannot even find "ping" in the path on your Amiga, don't spend any money.

Well I have managed to get ping to work in the shell but it only sends 1 packet and then the shell just sits there and doesn't send anymore?

Is there a way to get a USB Wireless N adaptor to work with my Amiga?
