AMITCP help getting on the net

[mrmoonlight]

Hi again i have been trying to install easynet,but cant get very far because i cant get amitcp to install,which is on the easynet cd when i try to connect to the net it says,amitcp is not installed,and when i try to install it ,it keeps asking for the easynet volume, well as i am using a transferkit to install the cd information i cant insert a disc because i dont have a drive,and cant insert anything else in to the pcmcia slot because it has all the details that were on the easynet cd on the transfer adapter which is in the pcmcia slot,any easyer ways of getting on the net

[mrmoonlight]

In a shell, type

Code: [Select]

assign easynet: <path to where the easynet install files are>

Hi thankyou for your help ,sorry but im still not sure at what point i open the shell and how i open the shell, i insert easynet in to the pcmcia slot on a cf card ,install easynet comes up i click on it and it tells me insert volume easynet in any drive, so do i fetch assign up and tell it to go to the pcmcia slot? and where do i find the assign,

 Hi and thankyou, the easynet files are on a cf card that is inserted into the pcmcia slot using your transfer adapter,which open up on the workbench,i click on this and easynet install opens up and i press to install,it starts to install and then it stops and asks me to insert volume easynet in any drive ,how do i asighn it to where it is in the pcmcia slot ,and how do i get the asighn to open up,

An Amiga Shell is a text console where you can enter commands.
 
You can open an Amiga Shell by double clicking on your System partition, then double-clicking on the Utilities drawer then double click on the Amiga Shell icon
 
Assuming that the contents of Easynet are installed to the CF card in a drawer called EasyNet you would open an Amiga Shell and type:
 
Assign EasyNet: CF0:EasyNet
 
Then press the Enter key. Run the Easynet install script.

 No the easynet cd details are not installed anywhere apart from on your transfer adapter kit cf card sitting in the pcmcia slot going nowhere ,as it wont install, it said it wants the easynet volume which is sitting in pcmcia slot on a cf card

[mrmoonlight]

If you dont follow the advice above, it will always ask for the volume EasyNet.
 
So how did the Amiga respond when inserted the Adapter/CF card with EasyNet into the Amiga and you typed into the Amiga Shell the following:
 
Assign EasyNet: CF0:EasyNet
 
And press Enter key?

Hi it said invalid device name

[mrmoonlight]

:rtfm:

Please type 'info' in the shell and report back.

Hi a load of stuff has come back i can see the 447B-BA34 MOUNTED which is the cf with easynet cd details

[mrmoonlight]

Are the contents of the CD in the root of the CF card? If so, type
 
Assign EasyNet: 447B-BA34:

Hi i wrote what you said ,and it came back invalid name EasyNet:447B-BA34:

[mrmoonlight]

Or "assign EasyNet: 447B-BA34:EasyNet" if it is a drawer on the card.
I'm also curious about what the device name that is listed for "447B-BA34:", if it isn't CF0: - the volume name "447B-BA34:" sounds like something that is formatted on a windows PC.

Hi and yes it was formatted on a windows 7 pc and the easynet  cd was installed on a cf card wich is now in a adapter in the pcmcia slot and is sitting there on the bench top with the number 447B-BA34

[mrmoonlight]

And if you double click on 447B-BA34, does it open a window, and do you see something in there called "EasyNet"? You might have to go to the window menu and select "show" -> "show all files" to make it visible, I guess.

Hi yes when i click on that number a Install easynet  is there with installer, aweb appl,amissl, desktop ini, resource, Install-Easynet

[mrmoonlight]

Sorry... Hi jacking a thread here, but where is the Amiga operating system in all this and what is the mounted drive and what file system are we using if the drive is PC Formatted. Or is that what this adaptor does.

Hi no problem , i took the cf card and inserted it in my computer ,i formaated the card using the fat formatt,i then put the install cd in my computer and copyed it to the cf card,i then put the cf card into the pcmcia adapter and inserted that into the amiga pcmcia slot, and then on the workbench is the number 447B-BA34, I CLICK ON THIS AND THE INSTALL easynet comes up and and i press on this and then the insert easynet  volume request come up and that is stage i am at now

[mrmoonlight]

When you type in an Amiga Shell:
 
assign EasyNet: CF0:EasyNet
 
0 in CF0: is a numeral zero, not letter O
 
There is a space between assign and EasyNet: and also another space between EasyNet: and CF0:EasyNet, i.e
 
assignEasyNet:CF0:EasyNet

Hi and now it said insert volume CF0 IN ANY DRIVE

[mrmoonlight]

Thats the prompt for you to insert the Compact Flash card with EasyNet on it into the CF PCMCIA adapter inserted in the side PCMCIA slot of your Amiga.

Hi it is already in there, i have taken it out and put it back in again,but nothing
