amigakits pcmcia network kit
« on: May 07, 2008, 06:19:34 PM »
hi all, I got a Netgear pcmcia network card from Amiga kit along with a driver disk, I stuck the card in the slot, copied the drivers to the dev/networks folder on my HD and rebooted. The link light comes on as does the 100MB light. But now I'm kind of stuck as to what to do next to get it working. Its hooked in to my PC and the PC sees something is connected, but the Amiga (a1200 BTW with a 68030 cup and 68882fpu)does not respond to pings or transmit to the PC. Has anyone else used this device and got it to work? please help as I have no other way to get info on to my Amiga at the moment. Thanks

You need to install and configure a TCP/IP stack.

ok, how can I do that. I don't have a link between the internet and my Amiga. And don't have a clue how to write Amiga disks on the pc. Nor do I have a CF device on the Amiga. Is there a way to do this or am i screwed.

There is always a way :-) I assume you have Workbench installed to hard disk on your A1200? If so have a look in the Storage/DOSDrivers drawer on your Workbench partition. Double click the PC0 icon. Put a double density disk in the floppy drive and format the PC0 device. This disk will then be read-/writeable on the Amiga and a PC. Then go to Aminet on your PC and download this. Copy it to the floppy disk, install it on your Amiga (you will need to read the docs and follow the installer carefully) and that should get your Amiga online.

Give this a try:
http://www.acc.umu.se/~patrikax/amiga/guides/AmiTCP_Install/

Worked first time for my 3C589 card.

I’m also using SMBFS, a nice small and simple networking utility that allows shared drives to be visible when opened on the Amiga.

I've got a whole pile of notes that I could post to your email address if you're interested. Just about everything you will probably need to know to get networking to work on your miggy. :-D

EDIT: Thanks again to Patrik Axelsson (patrik) and David Eriksson (fx) for this wonderful resource page.

i have the same kit from amigakit and it's working perfectly.
all you need is in the cdrom which came with the card.
just install it and setup the easynet program.

No icon to double click, or no icon indicated when a floppy is inserted?

no icon to click on the harddrive, but I found it on the Storage floppy ran it and formated the disk. Now I have a bigger problem though. For some reason after I rebooted my Amiga it will no longer boot from the hard drive  :-?

Did you just say you formatted the hard disk? If so, it's now empty and you'll have to reinstall the operating system. Excuse me if I misunderstood.
