Plipbox issues?
 

Hey all.

My apologies if this is in the wrong section. If it is, I'll delete ASAP. I'm mainly making a thread to ask how do you set up a plipbox? As far as I've read, it should be out-of-the-box when used in conjunction with a Vampire 2/Apollo OS, but all I've hit is roadblock after roadblock. Different power sources, unpluging/repluging, setting up network device, changing configs, but nothing seems to work.

All I get upon trying is 'Interface "plipbox" configuration failed with station address (resource allocation failure). I'm hoping this is me overlooking something silly.

Thank you!

Any way of testing with another machine? It should work with any Amiga I believe since it is serial port driven unless I'm getting confused with another device.

Sadly I do not. I only have the one machine.

Where in the UK you based?

Essex.

I don't know a great deal about the plipbox. What TCP/IP stack are you using?

Currently Roadshow.

Have you tried Miami?

Should be trivial. I never have had problems to get amigas online, unless there is a actual hardware problem.

What kind of PSU you use to power up Plipbox? Does it have two diffrent power inputs?

Generally you would need set up a :

A) device driver, plipbox.device
B) IP address, have you tried statick instead of DHCP?
C) Subnet mask
D) Gateway address
E) Name servers
