Help! I'm trying to connect my A1200 to the net

Genesis doesn support dhcp "automated ip" could say

Here is one solution

OR

You could setup static ip, if you have windows machine in you home network, open command promt and type: IPCONFIG /ALL

If you have private network (it means that you can use static ip) you get something like this

192.168.x.x or 10.x.x.x where x is number 1-255

If you get anything else you must use DHCP

But let suppose that you have private ips

You need gateway, dns server, subnet mask and of course ip for your amiga.

Lets suppose that your PC gets ip 192.168.0.16 you could quite safety suppose that you could use ip addres like 192.168.0.101

Keep 3 first octets same 192.168.0.x and pick last wich is quite far from ip addres wich you PC use. Any number between 3-253 is acceptable

192.168.1.200 probably good choise.

What else ipconfig did tell you?? What is gateway ip or dns ip? Subnet mask is probably 255.255.255.0

You need to enter them too
