Which MiamiDX? AmiTCP?

Where's the fun in that though?

I did install WB3.9, nothing was set up, I then installed the internet software from the 3.9 disk and it came with genesis stack, I still had to install my own prism2v2 drivers, but that goes without saying.
 
I've been messing with 3.1 now for hours and I've got the SMBFS installed along with AmiTCP 3 and it seems to be working, just transferring a ton of files to the pc to test.
 
I'll try that a few times before I try copying files TO the amiga, since last time I did this it crashed whilst writing and corrupted the CF card, so I had to start all over again.
 
Isn't it just blissful? I'm learning a lot but it does get on my nerves that things don't seem to be stable and work.
 
Are there any of you guys actually using a WIFI card? I don't know whether I'm just best off going to a wired connection?
 
Sometimes it seems to crash and reboot whilst booting, I think it's whilst it's initialising AmiTCP and the prism2v2 drivers, but I'm not sure.
 
I've gave the SMBFS a 60000 stack, just to try and make sure it gets plenty of memory. Was that a stupid thing to do?!? I don't know. I'm just playing around until I can figure it out.

I went for a wired Lan because it's less hassle, I also went with EasyNet because I didn't want to muck around setting up Genesis and SAMBA.  My install took about an hour to setup to a shared drive and is very stable.

Chances are that the prism2v2 device is not completely stable. I have read that some people have trouble but it could be an older version. I would have stayed with AmigaOS 3.9 as you could then use the newer version of AmiTCP (Genesis). There may be bug fixes that help stability.

That's ok. Too much stack causes no problems and isn't any slower unless it runs you low on fast memory. There are some tools that will show the amount of stack used. Scout will show the amount of stack allocated and available in real time for all tasks (needs MUI). There are some tools that will track the maximum amount of stack used which is what you really want to know. This amount may change from one program launch to another so it's best to allocate a safe amount of extra stack.

I thought Genesis was easy to setup. Smbfs was a little more difficult but not too bad. SAMBA is very difficult. I never got it to work. I was researching my problems when I found smbfs.
