If you have Windows Pc and is connected to the internet, open the RUN command and type CMD
In the command prompt type IPCONFIG /all
You will need DEFAULT GATEWAY IP address and DNS SERVERS IP address.

Thank you so much everyone i am writing this from the Amiga its on line and boy am i pleased,lol lol

Cool!
what browser are you using?

Hi i only have ibrowse which i like but it only works for half an hour and then it stops and i have to start again.  lol but still pleased as punch

25 euro for a TCP/IP stack just to get working DHCP... let me think... ahh noo :-)
 
Easier to just enter an IP address, it's not that hard.
 
Have a registered copy of ibrowse though, although it needs an update in displaying HTML :-/

 
Hi Easy for some lol i didnt find getting on line easy and i was using easynet lol then when you read how many folk have given up even trying to get on line i think maybe for the not so Amiga know how people it has to be made very clear and in easy terms this was by amiman99 Re: A1200 internet
If you have Windows Pc and is connected to the internet, open the RUN command and type CMD

You will need DEFAULT GATEWAY IP address and DNS SERVERS IP address. and this was just what i needed and easy to follow for which i am truly grateful .
 
Where does one get a registered copy of ibrowse ,and is it legal?

Well done..

 Lol thank you very much i was still excited when i got to work this morning ,funny really as my work mates cant understand the thrill i got watching my A1200 surf the net and another funny thing is that load of crap as they once called it  is no longer a load of crap any more its a singing Dancing surfing mean machine equiped with recording studio ,cd player internet radio ,Gaming machine photo booth ,and bouncing ball ,so stick that up your pipe and get Boinged ,lol   ramble over, my very best wishes Brian.:laughing::laughing::laughing:

RoadShow68K is the fastest and easiest to setup TCP/IP stack (there is no configuring needed) for the OS 3.X Amiga. Transfer numbers show that only the PPC version for OS 4.1 is maginally faster. Twenty-five Euros to support new Amiga software development? Priceless!
 
IBrowse 2.4 and AWeb are the most stable browsers for now (NetSurf 2.8 may be good, but a memory hog). There are key-files for IBrowse on the web -- Google it; failing that PM me for the URL.
 
The "Amiga-experience" Cerfing the web is fine for all but the serious user; for everything else use a modern CPU & modern browser for complicated sites. Good Luck and Good Bless.
 
["Cerfing" refers to Vint Cerf -- Google him if you don't know]

Hi i have just read up on the RoadShow68K and i am very temped but a little worried about using the shell  and some of the other stuff it has which i know very little about and it doesnt really recomend novices ,so is any one using it on a A1200 with accelerater and xtra memory and connected by ethernet pcmia card and cable , and not to clever? lol Brian.

Well i only asked which Email i should use ,lol now i am not sure if i should have bought the Roadshow or not ,i bought it because it fills a nead and it supports some one who is contrbuting to the survival of the Amiga without progress we have nothing some of the children of today actualy love the Amiga and the simplicity of playing games on it so i add the  Roadshow and just maybe it may open up the want to use it because it again may run better or be a little quicker ,who knows .Brian.
