Amiga surfing the WEB

[Daniele]

it says that the ethernet card is not installed.

Where are the driver of the EasyNet card?

what is its name?

thanks

[AMC258]

I would have to guess easynet.device or something.  Check your DEVS:Networks.  If you don't find anything there, use the Window\Find... feature of OS3.9's Workbench, and search the disk that came with the card for files named ".device"

[Daniele]

In Network Configuration help I have an error

FastEthernet.device (not installed)

where can I find it?

thanks

[amigakit]

That error is why you can't connect to the Net.  The SANA II network driver is not available.

FastEthernet.device is an Elbox file found on the Mediator MMCD.  We cannot distribute this file on the EasyNet CD.

Copy the FastEthernet.device to DEVS:Networks drawer of your System partition.

I don't have a Networks Drawer in DEVS

why?

[AMC258]

Because you never created it :-)

Here's an icon for it: http://stash.amc258.com/AMC258/Amiga/Networks.info

 Because you don't have installed any TCP stack/device in your system.

 Follow this procedure:

 Open the DEVS: drawer, right click on an open space, select "new drawer", rename it to Networks and copy the devices into it.

now the card is recognized but even if I selected IP, gateway,subnet mask and DNS I cannot surf the Web yet!

[DoogUK]

make sure you use a static IP address as amigas are not fond of DHCP

[Daniele]

I put in the PC and Amiga these values

PC (Server)                        

IP Address  192.168.0.1        
Subnet Mask 255.255.255.0      
Gateway     192.168.0.1        
Primary DNS 212.216.112.112  

Amiga

IP Address  192.168.0.2
Subnet Mask 255.255.255.0
Gateway     192.168.0.1
Primary DNS 212.216.112.112
Secondary DNS 212.216.172.62

 


But the Amiga Doesn't surf!

I tried to ping 192.168.0.2 but no one packet is transmitted!


Any idea?

[DoogUK]

Change the ip adress of the amiga to something high, like 192.168.0.30

Most routers only support dhcp up to 25.

then try again

Edit: just noticed you're not using a router (doh)

ignore this comment

[TiredOLife]

To be honest, that would be you best move.
Use a router, easier and not reliant on the PC being switched on.

[swift240]

I do it this way.

Router, going to many PC`s.
Then from the router to Amiga 1200 OS3.9 using Genesis and AWeb
Genesis in the SYS:Internet
The OS3.9 CD gives you the option to put Internet software on your system when you first put OS3.9 on.

Having a router makes life a lot simpler, i have 4 pc's, a mac and my 1200 running on it with no problems.

[amigakit]

In EasyNet's Network Domain Name box, make sure it is filled in:

I tryied the configuration suggest by AmigaKit but doesn't work.

Then I tried to connect to the router a second PC using this configuration and it works.My second pc connects to internet with these parameters

PC N.1:

IP Address            192.168.1.2
Subnet Mask         255.255.255.0
Gateway               192.168.1.1

DNS Primary         151.99.125.1    My ISP Alice
DNS Secondary       151.99.0.100    Telecom Italia    



PC N.2:

IP Address            192.168.1.3
Subnet Mask         255.255.255.0
Gateway               192.168.1.1

DNS Primary         151.99.125.1  
DNS Secondary       151.99.0.100        

But when I put this configuration, the last one,
instead to connect my second pc to the router I connect the A1200T and put inside EasyNet these parameters I cannot surf the web and if I ping 192.168.1.3 no one packed is received.
I whant know also if Debig SANA should be Enabled or Disabled ,I tried with Enabled.

Any help to help me to fix this problem?

Thanks in advance
