I had a bad fast ethernet card from Elbox. I bought another for $5 off e-bay and it works fine. Make sure you are using the newest drivers. The MM CD I received had old drivers. I recall that the old fastethernet.device on the CD didn't work. The ones off the Elbox website worked though. This was several years ago though so maybe things have changed.

Ok so I have completely given up on easynet and decided to install Genesis instead and is working fine now, I was hoping for it to be quicker than what it is but atleast it's up and running.


Genesis is known for being one of the fastest Amiga stacks. It can be tweaked for speed (bigger packet size?) also. There is also the packet fix which I use with Genesis:

You may already have it patched if using the unofficial BoingBags.

I'm surprised the new easynet doesn't work with the same settings. The biggest difference is a different GUI.
