Manually configuring AmiTCP/IP

[motorollin]

I've just checked and everything from the Mediator System FIles folder on the Elbox driver CD is on the floppy, but it still shows all the cards as "Unknown". Even without P96 running, my OS3.9 install recognises all the cards when I run pciinfo. Do you think that could be related to the problem with the network card?

I had the same problem with my Mediator PCI 1200. It didn't see any of my cards. They all came back in PCIInfo as 'Unknown  Devices' :-? . I returned the board to the seller and he send me a new one which was working.
Here is what my Pciinfo showed me:

Code: [Select]

Pci Device 1:
   VendorID: $ffff
   VendorName: Unknown
   DeviceID: $100f
   DeviceName: Unknown
   ClassCode: $100fff
   RevisionID: $ff
   InterruptPin: 0
   SubsystemVendorID: $ffff
   SubsystemID: $100f

Pci Device 2:
   VendorID: $121a
   VendorName: 3dfx Interactive Inc
   DeviceID: $1007
   DeviceName: Unknown
   ClassCode: $120000
   RevisionID: $1
   InterruptPin: 2
   SubsystemVendorID: $121a
   SubsystemID: $1005
   MemSpace0: $84000000 - $89ffffff
   MemSpace1: $80000000 - $83ffffff
   MemSpace3: $f0000000 - $dfffffff
   MemSpace4: $f0000000 - $dfffffff
   MemSpace5: $f0000000 - $dfffffff
   RomSpace: $dfa20000 - $4f72ffff

Pci Device 3:
   VendorID: $ffff
   VendorName: Unknown
   DeviceID: $100f
   DeviceName: Unknown
   ClassCode: $100fff
   RevisionID: $ff
   InterruptPin: 0
   SubsystemVendorID: $ffff
   SubsystemID: $100f

Pci Device 4:
   VendorID: $ffff
   VendorName: Unknown
   DeviceID: $100f
   DeviceName: Unknown
   ClassCode: $100fff
   RevisionID: $ff
   InterruptPin: 0
   SubsystemVendorID: $ffff
   SubsystemID: $100f

It looks like your card is broken or not connected properly.

No, the Mediator works fine when I boot OS3.9. In the end I made a copy of a Workbench disk and installed the Mediator drivers on to it properly. Then PCIInfo correctly reported all of the cards. I then incorporated fx's network bootdisk in to the Workbench disk, booted from the disk, started AmiTCP, and hey presto I can map drives with smbfs to my MacBook from the floppy :-D
