Miami got problems with renew my IP, any help?

[AmiDelf]

Hello,

I would like to get some help on if there is any fix out there for Miami with its IP renew problems.

My Internet providers requires DHCP to be turned on. Genesis dosent work with DHCP, but Miami kinda works, as I am typing on my Amiga right now.

But my Internet provider renews its IP every 20 min, wich means that Miami lost it connection for some strange reason.

Is there a fix to this, or maybe MiamiDx got this bug sorted out?

So after every 20 min, I have to log off and on.

Please help out,..

Regards,
Michal

Only solution I can think of is buying a router. Genesis can't handle DHCP either, nor do I think can the stoneage TermiteTCP or that thingy which was included with A1200 surfer packs (IS255 or something?).

This might be a silly question but,

Have you turned your modem off by the mains (Totally disconnect it from the power supply.

I used to turn my Amiga off by the power button on the tower, turn off the monitor & just forget about the modem.

As it turns out, the modem needs to be reset sometimes & you can do this by pulling the plug for about 5-10 minutes (To be safe), then, when I plugged it back in again & rebooted my Amiga, it was fine.

Hope this is some help.

This problem seem to be very common one. DX is not better in this regard but got one very useful option: auto-connect.

In MiamiDX, go to interface settings -> Auto-connect/disconnect ->

• Auto-connect from offline/suspended on

Like mentioned above a router will solve all your troubles. I had the same problems before I got mine. The router will use its own internal DHCP server to give out internal IP addresses to you computers connected to it and the incomming service is fed to the routerwhich handles all the IP changes itself not effecting the computers at all. Its a life saver. An added bonus is most routers come with a hardware firewall for great protection!
