Infochannel and TCP/IP

[Gulliver]

I'm really interested in hearing how you got TCP/IP to work with ScalaNet. I never figured out that one!

You say that you had to load socket.library? You don't mean bsdsocket.library?
I always got this to work over modem and nullmodem, but never with TCP/IP as there were little documentation of it at that time.

I concluded a few years later that the problem must have been that ScalaNet did require a different TCP/IP-stack than AmiTCP or Miami.....?

No, I used to link a master and a player station using AmiTCP like a decade ago. So AmiTCP definately works.

Good to get that confirmed,Gulliver. Will give it a try tonight.

Btw, I sent you a PM over at EAB..could you please have a look at it?

No problem, will look at it

Just got ScalaNet to work over TCP/IP tonight... some things are a bit unlogical, but I figured out how to do it.

For those of you who wonder:
"Network" and "TCP/IP" must be moved from EX to Startup in the Scalafolder.


On the playermachine here I got AmiTCP 3 GNU, and it does not contain the required "socket.library".
I had to get that from AmiTCP4 and move it til Amitcp:libs/ and assign INET: to Amitcp:

Then it all worked magically....  Infochannel is really a masterpiece of software...

Can anyone please tell me what the "Browse" EX does?

It automatically generates thumbnails in one of the requesters. I can remember in which one though
