Needed: MiamiDX prefs file for Ethernet LAN...
« on: August 26, 2003, 04:41:24 PM »
Hmm... How hard can it be to put my two A1200's in into an ethernet LAN? -Hard enough!

I can't seem to get the damn things to ping eachother... So I would be glad if one or more of you could send me a prefs file where you've succesfuly got two ethernet cards/machines to ping...

Just send me an e-mail...

I've read 4 tutorials and Miami's own manual to try to solve this problem... But there's something I'm missing...

HELP!

-EDIT-

@amiga1260
Thanks but the only problem is I've already read that tutorial... Still not working...

I actually mean a settings file... more or less the same as a prefs file :-)

This should give me some sight of what I've done wrong... I don't care if it's not the same hardware used...

Hi there... Yeah, sorry for the lack of info... Ehm, let me see...

I'm connecting them directly to one another...
The cable is brand new and I used it at at a netparty some month ago, and it haven't been touched since (Until now)...

So you say I should use a "crossover" cable for this solution? -My guess is, if I used it at the netparty, were it was connected to some device (switch or router) it must be a standard cable...
So this could be no.1 error...

I've already given the two amiga's two different IP's: #1= 192.168.1.1 and #2= 192.168.1.2 the SubNet(Netmask) is= 255.255.255.0, but my gateway's is different (I've read that if none of the amigas is connected to the internet only #2 should have #1's IP as gateway and #1 should have none (priority=0); This could be wrong?)...

I'm also confused about the settings in MiamiDX:
What should I write in the database section (on both machines) in the following options?:
Hosts
Users
Groups

If I've understood this right, these are the only things I need to configure in the database section?
In the TCP/IP section I've sat the atributes for each specific amiga: different hostnames, real names and user names...

In short:
will you say it's either the cable or the gateways?

Again thanks...
