A1200 going online

[Snoozy]

Well there's no doubting the fact that running miaminit caused my system to hang, i found out that at the verification stage of miamiinit you should press enter (rather than click on continue - where you can guarantee it will hang) I got as far as naming my connection on miaminit (ie almost at the end) and it would always hang, soooooo

Back to googling and come across one of thomas's previous postings (nearly 10 years ago)

and 3 days ago i have managed to get miami online (finally)
 
and although my status on miami tells me i am online, when i try to web  browse with Aweb, it gives an error while retrieving url, cannot resolve  host name.

Is it possible to have miami online and still not have it communicate with aweb?         so now, i am in the process of trying miami with ibrowse....

btw, my card is an Etherlink III LAN PC Card for 10BASE-T and coaxial cable 3C589C) connected to a broadband ethernet router

But still the same problem with ibrowse - "Host lookup failed, no DNS entry found." Thomas !! Help!!

How did you set your DNS server(s)? Did you read my advice on that?

Can you ping your router's IP address (if you know it)? E.g.:

miamiping 192.168.0.1

If you're using MiamiDX with RJ-45 cable then the DHCP will find the IP address automatically. This is how it works for me anyhow. Sometimes you must try several times but it will find it in the end.
