Re: a4000 ethernet - HIJACKED THREAD!

Hmm. On a similar note I'm trying to get my A4k back up and running on a network - installed OS3.9 with Genesis via WINUAE (had to put some other files on the hd then install once the HD was put back into the real Amiga)

showconfig indicated the card is there

ariadneinfo (forget the author - sorry!) shows the card is istalled

Got ariadne_ii.device in correct place, Geneis Wizard worked ok, Genesis goes online, connect light shows when cat5 is plugged into the card, but....nada. I am trying this at work, not home where it worked before (home is simply a router, and I used a static IP - no problem NOTE I have not taken this machine back home to try it since the new install)

Here at work we have an NT box acting as domain controller, DHCP (which I could NEVER get to work on the Amiga). Entered the LAN gateway IP and the two DNS servers our ISP said to use (ran ipconfig/all on my XP box to verify the info). I have also tried a static IP. It not only can't ping anything on the LAN, it can not see external addresses, either.

Ideas or thoughts?

Thanks

UPDATE: My corporate LAN has a netmask of 255.255.0.0 - Genesis doesn't like that, and reverts to the default. I'm not a network expert. Would that affect it ?
