Cable modem from Charter
« on: June 01, 2007, 05:25:51 PM »
Yes, I'm finally in the 21st century - I have high speed internet from Charter! But...
Was on dial-up (yuck!) using a D-Link 704-P router;the modem plugged into the back of the router, dialed out on demand, and everyone could use the internet ('use' being relative term for two machines trying to access the web at <56k...).
Of course the Charter guy plugged directly into pc from the modem - only one Cat5 connector on it , so I dropped it into the in port of the D-Link, plugged the pc into a port, and works great!
But, the Amiga can't see the internet now, nor can it see the other machine.
Original setup was each machine had a static IP, but the tech changed the pc to be dynamic.

So, using an Ariadne-II,  and Genesis, how can I get the Amiga up on the 'Net?

On Amiga, tried dynamic ip and a few other things, but no go. Anyone do anything similar? Do you have anything set up for name resolution, destination, etc in either Genesis or on a router?

Thanks in advance.

Well, I don't mind setting up what I can - there are options for cloning MAC address, etc. on the router's administration page. I'll fiddle some more. Oddly, while playing around with the settings and rebooting the router as required, the pc NEVER lost connection...
