Here is what I see:-

MAC Address:

IP Address:
192.168.1.1
Subnet Mask:
255.255.255.0

Ok, this is what you need for the Amiga and other wired computers on LAN. You have to config them to use similar ip addresses.

For example you could use following on the Amiga:

IP Address: 192.168.1.2
Netmask: 255.255.255.0
Gateway: 192.168.1.1
If your router can act like nameserver proxy, then use 192.168.1.1 as Nameserver. Otherwise you probably need to use 194.168.4.100 and/or 194.168.8.100

For PC and other computers the same settings, but different IP Address.. like 192.168.1.3 or .4 or .5 etc.

Then ping 192.168.1.1 from computers to see if it's working.

Which is why if you're using a network with WEP-only gear on it (Amigas, Nintendo DS etc.) you should use MAC address filtering once you get it all working how you want it.

Utterly worthless. The MAC address doesn't even get encrypted (technically impossible), so it takes about .001 seconds to fake a working MAC (or 2-3 seconds if you do it manually). The security you gain by filtering isn't worth the trouble.

Well, I think that better turn on all security options in any case instead of leaving them open. At least it should keep accidental alien users away as well as amateurish hacker kids. Of course it doesn't give proper shield for people who know what they're doing, but I guess that chances for them is smaller in neighbourhood.

So, at least I use my A1200 on WLAN which has WEP encrypting, MAC filtering and disabled SSID broadcasting. Better than doors open freely IMHO.
