Samba + DHCP

[Ronky]

Hi all...

I used Samba to shaer files between the (stupid) PC and my beloved A4000... But recently I changed from Static IPs to DHCP (makes wireless comm. between Playstation and Router easier).

Since I chaged to DCHP I haven't been able to share files between the 2 machines. Samba seems not to like DHCP, I use Smb-Net to mout PC devs in the Amiga side.

Has any1 andle this before and get DHCP to work properly, any help will be apreciated.

Thanks
Ronky

Hi Jettah!

First of all, thanx for the info. As I said before, both machines could communicate to each other swell when I used static IPs, the problem came along when I changed to DHCP.

Somehow, I guess it's a firmware error, my 2WIRE modem/router doesn't like static IPs, I've tried everything to set them up as it used to work, I recently adsked for a replacement of the unit to see if it was a hardware error (I am waiting for the replacement to arrive).

I will make some tests using the config you just mentioned, and I'll also try to move things around in Samba SWAT to see if things improve.

Thanks again!

Hello again!

Well, it worked uout fine, all devices can see each other fine and can share files.

Next on, printing... have you been able to print form the Amiga to a printer attached to the PC? printer is a HP Photosmart 7760, no driver for the amiga (and I dont have an USB card in it). Can it be done?

Thanx
Ronky
