AExplorer TCP Mode Problem.

[Redbaron1]

Hello,

I try to use AExplorer in TCP mode between my PC and my Amiga 1200 with a 3Com PCMCIA NIC, I have OS3.9 Genesis installed and working fine, I can connect to the internet via my router and ping any machines on my network.

When I start AExplorer on my PC I got an error from Genesis telling me that "connection from a host 192... on port 356 (If I remember correctly) access denied." So how to give access to host PC in Genesis?

Have you tried resetting all the settings?

Hidden on the AExplorer support page:

Users of the GENESiS TCP/IP software as distributed in the "Amiga OS 3.9" package may have all ports from 0 to 1023 blocked by default ("$ *.*.*.* deny LOG" line in "AmiTCP:db/inet.access" file). To allow Amiga Explorer to access port 356, add a line with "356 *.*.*.* allow LOG" before the line blocking all other ports (lines are processed top to bottom). Please note that this file is usually generated automatically by the Preferences tools which are normally included with GENESiS. If you change the settings using such a user interface make sure that in that tool too port 356 is granted access, or else verify that the inet.access file still grants access to port 356 after you save the settings. Thanks to GENESiS author Tomi Ollila for his kind help in this issue.

Also make sure the passwords are the same on the Windows and Amiga, and that the Windows configuration is pointing to the correct IP address for the Amiga.

It's working! I was looking everywhere on the net for a solution but obviously not at the right place ;-) I added the line to inet.accces file to allow connection on port 356 and it works! It's so much better that way with AExplorer, the serial link was "painfully" too slow.

Thank you very much!

Now, the problem I have is with my DKB 1202 with 2x 4MB simms. When you have more than 5.5MB of ram the pcmcia port is disabled so I have to remove 1 simm and I'm stuck only with 4MB, it's not enough when you see Genesis eating your memory when it starts.

According to www.amiga-hardware.com the expension card came with a software call MagicMem that let you add 1.5MB of the second 4MB simm when PCMCIA card is detected fot a total of 5.5MB, well, still not enough but better than nothing.

Anyone know where I can find this software? I search Aminet but found nothing.


Thank you.
