Win UAE problem

[Thomas]

As I mentioned in my notice I have attempted to use both Miami and Miami DX to no avail.

This is the TCP/IP layer. The network is up and running, now you need some software to use it.

As already mentioined you can use Samba to show your Amiga's drives in the network and you can use SMBFS or SMB-Connect on the Amiga to use your PC's drives. The PC has such software built in.

Another possibility would be to install a FTP server on one computer and use a FTP client on the other to access files.

Why didn't you mention AmigaExplorer in any word ?

The default connecting method for AE is the serial nullmodem cable. Now you want to use TCP/IP. I assume you have configured the "Amiga Computer" icon on the Windows desktop for using TCP/IP but you have to configure the Amiga component of AE, too. This is done by editing the tooltypes of the icon (click it once and choose Information from the Icon menu).

Also the Amiga component of AE likes to quit silently if anything goes wrong.  Always check if it is still running after you get an error message on the PC.

There must be something wrong with you configuration. Not in TCP/IP but in AmigaExplorer. I tried it yesterday and it worked at once.

On the PC side you must configure the Amiga's IP address. The default is 127.0.0.1 which always identifies the same computer (localhost). You must enter the Amiga's IP address there.

Also check the passwords on both ends. The connection is refused if the password is not correct.
