Crossover network cable?
« on: November 12, 2009, 12:44:40 PM »
Hi, I bought a crossover network cable from amigakit, and now I need some setup help =) I need to get "ethernet" between my A1200 and my laptop.
When I connect the cable from Amigas PCMCIA 3com card to my laptop's ethernet port, nothing happens. I used to have a router, and my XP told me the IP, subnet mask and gateway. But now, I cant configure AmiTcp because don't know the laptop IP etc...where do I get them?
And do I have to configure DNS server to Ibrowse(where?), because the real broblem was that I couldnt get to the internet using the router? And im using a 3G modem on my USB to get internet connection to my laptop.

Thanks in advance !

To find out your laptop IP, press windows key & r, then type cmd and enter
 
then in the command prompt type ipconfig
 
this will tell you your settings.
 
though your laptop will prob be set to dhcp.  You will need to set a static ip and subnet mask,
 
do this thorugh the newtork settings in control panel.   you will need to select TCP/IP and configure

to get the laptop ip, in start run type cmd and hit enter.
in the dos prompt type:
ipconfig

but...
you said: and my XP told me the IP.
that's the ip of the laptop!
the gateway is the ip of the router
your router has only one ethernet?
you don't need dns on ibrowse
all you have to do is to pass the correct info at easynet.

1) Share your wireless connection in XP.


2) Set the IP address of the Amiga as 192.168.0.2
The ethernet port you are using to connect to the Amiga will automatically become 192.168.0.1 (It`s the M$ way, you cant change it if using ICS)

3) Set your gateway and DNS (on the Amiga) as 192.168.0.1

Job done!

(PS network mask is always 255.255.255.0 in this IP range)

Thanks you so much ! I finally got everything working thanks to you!
The only thing I did, I changed the TCP/IP settings in my XP and reconfigured AmiTcp :)
