Simplify the network

[cycloid]

blimey, i think what all that meant is

windows boxes prefer NetBios ( NetBEUI ) for file and printer sharing using the windows workgroup name (default "MSHOME")

windows boxes need TCP/IP for internet sharing


for best results turn off the DHCP client on the router/acces point and assign all your computers static addresses in thier network setup thus:

router/acces point: 192.168.0.1 (internet software looks for this address first to try to connect to the outside world)

windows 1: 192.168.0.2
.0.3
.0.4

etc.

subnet mask of 255.255.255.0

and it should all work perfectly.... probably.  :-D


edit: do you mean that internet host names change? in which case you need to point your amiga's DNS at 192.168.0.1 (the acces point) and make sure your access point has DNS forwading enabled

Casper is right. Turn off DHCP if you want to do any serious networking.

that was MY idea :-)

just yesterday i networked someone's Xbox to their pc via a hub so they could do xbox live via their PC's broadband connection ... it really was plug and play ... it just went. .. we need networking like THAT on amigaNG!
