Help setting up a1200 networking needed

[pVC]

Wireless or wired PCMCIA card?

Pretty sure I have. I can see the amiga on my router at least, mbut that's about as much "success" as I seem to be having.

How can you see the Amiga on router? I don't know the way it would just "show up" somehow when not using DHCP...

Have you tried to hotswap the network card if it's the A1200 reset bug? Or have you installed reset bug fixes?

If it's working hardware wise, basically you just need to set unique IP address in the range for it and same netmask as your system uses and correct gateway address (router's) and nameserver address if/when you want to access net with name addresses (your router might act as dns proxy too). Then check pinging router from Amiga and Amiga from PC for example.

You could also test the system with NetworkBootDisk. It contains reset fixes and should be easier to set up than full TCP/IP stack. If you get it working with it, then you probably can guess what's wrong in your setup.

Something like that network boot disk would be useful, but unfotunately I cant write to floppy disks on my amiga (drive is partially dead).

You can boot that disk from RAD: too.

Yeah I can.
Additionally the router is aware of the amiga being on the network (which makes it weird that I cant ping it), and using query inside miamidx will also detect correct MAC address.

I'm still wondering how the router is aware of Amiga? If it would be connected with DHCP, then it would be shown in DHCP table. But when using static addresses it normally doesn't show up anything like that. Maybe it just sees it's connected hardware wise by connected cable and maybe MAC address, but I would guess it doesn't tell anything if you have correct TCP/IP settings or not. Or does it?
