Amiga on network
« on: August 30, 2003, 08:42:55 PM »
I got my Amiga on the web over my networkt via MiamiDX and cable modem. How do I get it to share files with the pc's on the network. Any good advise on software?

    I installed samba on the Amiga. I can ping the
 pc but can't seem to do much else. Granted I am
 not very computer literate and I was rather excited
 to get that far.
   I found something called Tango that I tried also
 but it won't connect either. I can not go online
without using DHCP for IP type. Does this make a
 difference?
    The docs seem alittle confusing for me, is there
a reference somewhere for us dummies? I did get it
on the net with the other pc's. That ought to count
for something right?

   My goal is to transfer graphic files form my
pc to the toaster/flyer via ethernet. I have a 4 port
ethernet broadband router,and cable modem. 3 pc's
are connected o it and 1 Amiga with an x-surf card.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for the link!  I got Amiga Explorer up and running. I haven't tried to finish the samba configuration. Is it as slow as AE? I may try a sneakernet with Jaz disks if I can find a way around the filename problem. Any ideas?

Thanks again for the help
