I would recommend you use roadshow.  I did lots of testing years ago and it gave the least amount of issues and the greatest performance.

I have a mediator card also.

I will give the demo a try and let you know

I swear to god I give up I really do, the Amiga is one complicated computer I have been building and repairing pc's for over 19 years and I am A+ Certified so I am no noob when it comes to computers but this system is driving me around the bend it really is I feel like throwing in the towel

Well I have tried to get the stupid Amiga 1200 online but still no look, I have went back to Workbench 3.1 and upgraded to OS 3.9 just in case it was a bad install, I then went and setup everything up ie.. installed Genesis and all the boing bags, installed mui 3.8 and still no luck. I can't even ping my router or any of my systems on my network it just comes up saying unknown command? if anyone has any other ideas please let me know.

If you get that ping is unknown command, then I cannot believe you have installed Roadshow - it puts ping right in C: which is always in command line path.

I couldnt get MiamiDX or Genesis working with Mediator and network card. Ive configured MANY diff amiga setups with diff hw never had a problem until mediator..

Is your Networkcard known good ? I never had any Problems with Mediator and the Network....

Yes my Network card is fine, I purchased it from Amigakit and it said on the description that it is compatible with the mediator. Here is link to card I have.

[Rotzloeffel]

could you try easynet? The software is included in the package..... normal setup is for example
your ip 192.168.0.10
netmask 255.255.255.0
router: 192.168.0.1
DN 192.168.0.1

nothing else to do.... check the Netwok-cable !

[carvedeye]

I have installed EasyNet and used the settings that you gave but its still not going online?

[carvedeye]

I have also noticed that its lights are red so I have a feeling the card might be faulty.

[carvedeye]

I think I am gonna buy a new network card just to make sure it is hardware and not software, what do you guys think? I have been on ebay and looking at what will be compatible. Here is a link to the cards I have been looking at.

Cards with these chipsets should work:

Texas                    RTL8139A
                  Realtek 8139 A/B/C/D
                  Accton Tech. Corp. RTL8139
                  D-link RTL8139
                  Delta RTL8139A
                  Addtron RTL8139

I think it may be down to my router as I am now using the new hub3 from virgin media and before I got it my Amiga was fine online. I gonna hook up my old router to see if that's the problem.

As long as you cannot even find "ping" in the path on your Amiga, don't spend any money.

^^^^^^ This.

Well I have managed to get ping to work in the shell but it only sends 1 packet and then the shell just sits there and doesn't send anymore?
