Networking Problem AmigaOS3.9

[techlord]

Okay, don't laugh...the networking problem is.......I don't know how to configure TCP/IP on AmigaOS.  I did an install of amigaOS inside of WinUAE, and it works great, but I have NO idea how to set up networking now...I looked and it says AmigaOS3.9 has a built in TCP/IP stack...but apparently I'm not experianced enough with Amiga OS3.9 to know where that resides...

The instructions I have say, "You can install Internet software now"...thats about as descript as it gets...this is the guide I was following:
http://elite79.tripod.com/os39uae/

Evertthing else is working, just don't know how to, "Install internet software" ha ha ha...I imagine there's a TCP/IP stack somewhere where I can enter my IP settings, as this link suggests:

Anyways, any help would be greatly appreciated.  (I am versed with network, just not AmigaOS, but really want to be

Winuae doesnt use an amiga tcp/ip stack for amigaos, instead enable bsdsocket.lib emulation in Winuae settings (perhaps in misc, I cant recall, its been a while since Ive used Winuae).

Select that and youre good to go

Hi thanks for the reply, after we talked, I found the, "Install Internet Software" on the 3.9 cd, and installed it...I'm really new to amiga...couldn't afford one in the 80's, as stated in previous post

Anyways, going to try the stack that came with the CD, and if that fails, I'll turn on the magic WinUAE driver you suggested.

On a side note, I have a VERY silly question...how do I access:

SYS:internet drawer, I imagine SYS is my Main Workbench drive...maybe...I feel silly...anyways...I come from a Linux background...and some things make sense, but some things on the AmigaOS are foreign to me

Thanks.

As Fishy said, WinUAE includes network emulation via bsdsocket.lib.  If this is enabled you just need to install a web browser, IRC client or other software of your choice.  Installing a TCP/IP stack under the emulated Amiga OS is probably a waste of effort and CPU cycles.  I assume however, that this method would still work (I think this is how it used to be done).

I assume it would work as well, but you'd need a WinUAE SANA-II driver to actually use the network. Maybe such a thing exists... But as was said, there's absolutely no need for it - just enable the bsdsocket.library emulation (which passes the network calls directly through to the Windows TCP/IP stack) and browse away

You're correct about SYS: AmigaOS uses special names for certain drives, so they can be accessed all the time. SYS: is given to the drive the OS booted from, so you can always access it in scripts, even if you rename the Workbench: drive later on... Others are:
C: (points to SYS:C/ and contains AmigaDOS commands)
DEVS: (points to SYS:Devs/ and contains device drivers)
LIBS: (Points to SYS:Libs/ and contains shared libraries)
L: (Points to SYS:L/ and contains "handlers")
DF0: (points to the first floppy drive, regardless of the name of the disk in that drive)
RAM: (points to the RAM disk - a very handy temporary drive)
ENV: (points to RAM:ENV and stores settings and environmental variables)

It's a nice system which other OSes could benefit from! Coming from Linux there are some similarities you might see, but one important difference is there's no / or My Computer - drives are the start of the filesystem tree, and assigns (such as SYS: and ENV:) behave pretty much the same as drives except they don't show up on the desktop...

Thanks guys, I will just turn on the WinUAE funciton...I was just trying to set it up the old fashioned way for some experiance...I will just turn on the emulated function, and then search for the other options later
