Envoy machines not talking to each other!
« on: May 20, 2004, 09:49:49 AM »
Hi everybody,

I now have my Amigas set up with Envoy - the 4000, the 1500 and a boot disk which should work on both the 600 and the 1200.  Using SanaIIDevStat I can see the network cards are all sending and receiving packets, and using Miami on the 4000 and 1500 I can see the network is correctly setup hardware-wise.

I have configured them all to use the IP and ARP types (or whatever) of 1 more than the default to prevent conflict with Miami.

The systems:
A4000 - OS 3.9, Prometheus w/RTL8029 NIC, Voodoo III, P96, CSPPC 96MB RAM
A1500 - OS 3.9, Ariadne NIC, 32MB RAM Apollo 2030/50
A1200 - Absolutely stock 3.0 machine, cnet.device
A600 - KS2.05, 2MB RAM, cnet.device (both on bootable floppy), 180MB HDD.

The version of Envoy I'm using is the only version I've got, which is a rather old V1.6 which came bundled with the Ariadne card.

I can see the interfaces are talking but they're not talking sense, at least not to each other. SanaIIDevStat shows that when I try to find hosts it sends out a number of packets, and receives packets in return (each machine does this), and each machine can connect to its own shared drive if it has any - but they just can't connect to each other, they always say Could Not Connect To Host or something.


Can anyone shed any light on this rather annoying situation? I don't want to have to buy another copy of Envoy as the 1200 and the 600 are the machines I want to use with Envoy and they're just for gaming....

Many thanks for any advice!
