Connecting the Web

[jeffimix]

I'm trying to get my Amiga on the web, and it won't work, so I'm wondering if any of you can help

I have a GVP I/O extender which has a crossover cable (9pin to 9pin), and yes I have tried nullmodem, no help) so I run Miami (not Miami init which crashes on my 000) and set it up to use 8bit,1 stop bit, 19200bps, gvpser.device, DHCP. I have my Windows machine (Xp) set up with a 'Incoming connection' also set up 8 bit, 1 bit stop, 19200 (XON/XOF on both) and DHCP. I hit the online button (err connect can't remember exact word now all of the sudden)  and it runs, it gets to this screen saying its trying to setup my ppp for lcp, then says it can't.

Should I be using SLIP? Is Windows set up right? Should I be doing something else? My amiga's looking so forlorn, it still has almost No software on it...

Edit:   Changed original post again.

PPP shoudl work.  You will need to use the null modem cable.  

Here's a link to setting up something similar on a MSX running UZIX (ie. check the Windows side, not the MSX one).

Hey Jeffimix

Now, I don't mean to be totally useless and talk about something of which I know virtually nothing....doh!

But, might it not be possible to get a cheap (ish) 030 accelerator or something? As surely a 68k will be sheer hell? Or is part of the point the challenge of getting the A2000 on the net as is?

I would love an 030 card with 8 megs of RAM ,I often look online, but, well, 2000s seem to have less available than 1200/3000/4000s do...

I can't really help much except I notice you
said you are using 'XON/XOFF' that is your
data flo-control. I think you would do better
by using 'RTS/CTS' .

XON/XOFF is softyware control
RTS/CTS is hardware control (its more reliable)
