[mrmoonlight]

Hi i have both wireless card and ethernet card for my Amiga 1200 both are from Amigakit which uses easynet ,is there some think else i can use that will autamaticaly find the server detailes that i will need to get on line as i am not sure where to obtain all the info ,best wishes Brian

On the A1200 it's a pretty manual process. Even DHCP doesn't always work, although not a big problem as you can obtain all the information from your router or PC :-)

I use prism2v2 for WPA2 and Genesis for the TCP/IP stack which works really well. But I still have to manually enter in the TCP/IP details when I first set it up as DHCP refuses to work.

If you have Windows Pc and is connected to the internet, open the RUN command and type CMD
In the command prompt type IPCONFIG /all
You will need DEFAULT GATEWAY IP address and DNS SERVERS IP address.

There is a new TCP/IP stack for the Amiga. It's called Roadshow.

This one has a better DHCP support.

Thank you so much everyone i am writing this from the Amiga its on line and boy am i pleased,lol lol

[amiman99]

Cool!
what browser are you using?

25 euro for a TCP/IP stack just to get working DHCP... let me think... ahh noo :-)

Easier to just enter an IP address, it's not that hard.

Have a registered copy of ibrowse though, although it needs an update in displaying HTML :-/

Roadshow is supposed to be the fastest TCP/IP stack available. And it's always nice to support developers.

Hi Easy for some lol i didnt find getting on line easy and i was using easynet lol then when you read how many folk have given up even trying to get on line i think maybe for the not so Amiga know how people it has to be made very clear and in easy terms this was by amiman99 Re: A1200 internet

Where does one get a registered copy of ibrowse ,and is it legal?

[mrmoonlight]

Well done..

 Lol thank you very much i was still excited when i got to work this morning ,funny really as my work mates cant understand the thrill i got watching my A1200 surf the net and another funny thing is that load of crap as they once called it  is no longer a load of crap any more its a singing Dancing surfing mean machine equiped with recording studio ,cd player internet radio ,Gaming machine photo booth ,and bouncing ball ,so stick that up your pipe and get Boinged ,lol   ramble over, my very best wishes Brian.:laughing::laughing::laughing:

RoadShow68K is the fastest and easiest to setup TCP/IP stack (there is no configuring needed) for the OS 3.X Amiga.  Transfer numbers show that only the PPC version for OS 4.1 is maginally faster.  Twenty-five Euros to support new Amiga software development?  Priceless!

IBrowse 2.4 and AWeb are the most stable browsers for now (NetSurf 2.8 may be good, but a memory hog).  There are key-files for IBrowse on the web -- Google it; failing that PM me for the URL.

The "Amiga-experience" Cerfing the web is fine for all but the serious user; for everything else use a modern CPU & modern browser for complicated sites.  Good Luck and Good Bless.

I don't disagree with the sentiment..
But I limit my spending for this hobby..
My guess is that he'd get a lot more registrations at $10-$15 USD than the few he'll get at $25 Euros...

The problem is that we no longer live in the 1980s where this sort of thing is a rare beast.  We are in the age where whole operating systems go for 25 euros (OSX) that include such things as TCP/IP stacks, and USB drivers, and a myriad of other things that are required and expected.  That's just the pay front (IE, not linux, where its all free and works).  I get the sentiment that "my time is worth something, dammit!  I deserve to be compensated!" but give me a break.  All we hear is "MorphOS/AOS4 is a rip-off!  Too expensive blah blah blah" followed by "Developers deserve to be paid for their efforts!"  I don't see the Haiku devs demanding money for their project (and by all accounts its farther along than AOS4 is, although not as far along as Morphos).  We're talking about one simple program to connect a very old computer to the internet (assuming that you can find/afford the hardware to get it there).
