Amiga network setup

[Attic]

Hi Peps,
I only gone and got myself a network card fot my tower and was therefore wondering what the best software is to use to network it with? Any links with guides on how to setup would be most welcome... I expect a few others here would find such guides useful too.

Any help greatly appreciated. :-)

It's a tower 060 with 80mb fast WB 3.5 4gig harddisk PCMCIA nic 16bit prelude sound THe 060 is a blizzard  with the scsi addon card. I would like to try and get it on the Internet via my PC Proxy machine running XP.

mmk

well, you only really need two things

1.) drivers for your card
2.) a tcp/ip stack

Both can be downloaded from www.aminet.net

A tcp/ip stack which is quite easy to set up, is Miami. It's got it's own little auto do everything thingy-ma-bob and then it's more or less clicking on "online" and away you go.

problem is it's shareware and turns itself off after an hour of usage :-( and even more annoyingly Bowl Haircut man (holger kruse, maker) has decided to close his company and not accept registrations...

so i don't know about other tcp/ip stacks, certaily amitcp is an alternative but that's more like setting up on a linux machine (not for the faint hearted)

drivers, well i had a 3Com 3c589 card, and i just got the drivers from aminet worked fine...

hope it works (feel free to ask further questions) :-D
