Can one suggest a wireless adapter for an AmigaOne?

[garyg]

When I try it on the Amiga "could not add route from DEVS:Internet/routes, line 6 (network is unreachable)
When I try it from the Mac it becomes http://0.0.0.192/168.8.1 and stalls

[ncafferkey]

Do you get that error when you run "ping", or does it e.g. pop up when you boot?

For the Mac problem, the forum software here messed up the link. Instead of clicking on it, type it out again as I wrote it.

@garyg

If I've been trying to set my adaptor up using the Amiga, before I can do anything with it using another computer, I usually need to reset it to factory defaults and then set it up from scratch.

Once set up (and confirmed working) on the other computer, I then plug it back into the Amiga and go through Roadshow

As ncafferky has said, you might need to set it's operating mode

[garyg]

how do I "run ping" in OS4?

[ncafferkey]

how do I "run ping" in OS4?

You run it in a shell window, like I wrote here:

Assuming the AmigaOne is connected to the Opal router by an Ethernet cable, as a preliminary step to make sure your AmigaOne has a TCP/IP connection to the Opal, you can run this shell command:
ping 192.168.8.1

BTW the "Could not add route" error may not be fatal, but it might be interesting to see what's on Line 6 of the file DEVS:Internet/routes.

[garyg]

Yes, the command echoes followed by "56 data bytes".
Now what?

[ncafferkey]

If you're getting something like "PING 192.168.8.1 (192.168.8.1): 56 data bytes" and nothing afterwards, you're not getting an answer from the router.

The settings for your Amiga's Ethernet inerface should be in a file in DEVS:NetInterfaces: can you tell us what's in that file? If the router has a DHCP server and your interface file has configure=dhcp, you may get an address automatically. You can check the address of your interface and more by running this command: shownetstatus

Did you have any luck connecting your Mac to the router and accessing its web config?

[garyg]

There are several files.
One simply called Interfаце reads device=p50x0_eth.device
hardware type=Ethernet
config=dhcp
mtu=0

the other files are called P50X0_ETH, P50X0_ETHER, P50X0_ETHER3,
and P50X0_ETHERNET

someone managed to connect my iPhone to the Opal router but
couldn't access the Internet. I don't know about connecting the Mac

[ncafferkey]

What does ShowNetStatus show?

You might want to move all but the first interface file to SYS:Storage/NetInterfaces (unless someone who knows more about the X5000 than me knows a reason why they're all necessary, but they may just be left over from multiple attempts to configure networking).

[garyg]

I moved the other Network files to Storage and ran ping again.

I get: ping: sendto: No route to host
ping: wrote 198.16.8.1 64 chars, ret=1
repeatedly

BTW, when I boot up a window opens at the top
[error] Could not add route from "DEVS:Internet/routes", line 6 (Network is unreachable)

As for the Mac it has no Ethernet port

[ncafferkey]

What about ShowNetStatus? I should have advised you to try that before ping in retrospect.

[garyg]

I found this program in C:
After running it I get:

Local host gateway: 192.1968.8.170 (on interface 'interface')
Default gateway address - (Not configured)
Domain name system servers - 192.168.8.1, 192.168.8.1, 8.8.8.8, 192.168.178.1, 172.16.1.1,
1.1.1.1, 1.1.1.1., 8.8.8.8

[ncafferkey]

Looking at the ShowNetStatus output, it looks like you received an IP address for your Amiga from the router's DHCP server. However, be careful that you're typing the right addresses: I notice some errors in the addresses you wrote. Maybe you got them right on the Amiga, but according to your post the address you pinged is wrong: instead of 198.16.8.1, it should be 192.168.0.1 192.168.8.1 [updated to correct my mistake]

[garyg]

Well, I'll try again, but 192.168.8.1 is what you told me at 1136 PM on the 28th.

[ncafferkey]

Apologies, I meant to say 192.168.8.1 is the correct address to try (192.168.0.1 is hardwired into my brain as it's probably the most common router address!).

[garyg]

OK, but that's the same thing you gave me two days ago which I have already tried
