AFAIK, lots of people are using wireless adaptors with prism.device, so perhaps his issues aren't representative.

Personally, I'm using wired NICs, which turned out to be no hassle at all to get working.

DHCP can also fixed

If you are going the network route (no pun intended), you don't really need to do anything to get around the lack of DHCP support. My classics run AmiTCP under 3.x. When setting up the stack, I just picked the static IP address on the LAN that I wanted them to have and as soon as the connection was up, went into the router and reserved those addresses for the MAC addresses of their network cards. As far as the machines are concerned they now have static IP addresses as the DHCP server will always re-issue the same one when the lease expires.

True, but you have made this profesional way :) IF asker isn't experienced he could als just pick one ip address wich is not in DHCP pool, no configuration needed to router.


I don't know about "professional", I did it that way because I couldn't be bothered to think of a better way to do it :D

I ended up reserving IP addresses for all my regularly connected devices. The remainder of the pool is left for when visitors bring their wireless devices round.
