How do I connect to the Internet?

[garyg]

First, please forgive the newbie question but I haven't connected to the Internet with an Amiga for almost four years because my ISP doesn't support dial-up.

Now I have my A4000/Mediator (with an Ariadne II card) working and an ethernet cable long enough to reach my router. However, when I start up iBrowse I can't connect. Some sites say "you have to start a TCP stack first". For some reason iBrowse doesn't automatically start Miami.

The last time I connected to the Internet using an Amiga was with my A4000 desktop. What am I doing wrong/forgetting?

Thanks in advance,
Gary

You have to run Miami first. It will not start automatically.

You can move it to WBStartup or run it from user-startup to get it started after boot.

Suspecting that, I clicked on Miami and it said something like "configuring modem" but after nothing happened for a while I hit Cancel, afraid that I'd mess up the router somehow

Next time I'll be more patient, and follow your advice about moving it to WbStartup.

Thanks!

Thanks, that worked! Although IBrowse 2.3 gets hung up on javascripts on several websites. I need to install 2.4 in hopes that it'll help

Yeah, even the IBrowse site used javascript in such a way that 2.3 couldn't process it!
