Network/internet problems.
« on: October 09, 2003, 06:11:34 PM »
After getting my amiga networked and sharing the internet connection, I'm now having some troubles. I'm using miamidx to connect using DHCP, but often it won't find ip addresses, i can try all day but it doesn't work. I have to reset and try again, until it eventually connects. And now even when I do get it to connect, aweb give messgae `cannot resolve host name` or something similar.Also, when i try to use samba to share files, it will quite often cause a crash, it worked fine before. Could kazaa be eating all the bandwidth on the PC?

we've got two pc's, one of which is connected to a bropadband modem by usb and a ethernet hub. The amiga and the other PC are connected this hub too. To share the interbnet connection i clicked the wizard in xp, which sets up that pc and makes a disk to set up the other pc's. I got my amiga to work by simply setting all the variables to DHCP. (ie ip address, netmask, gateway.) The weird thing is that i haven't changed any of the settings on my amiga, this just happened for no reason the other night.
