Could be but here's how to find out. You've already setup the Amiga with a static IP so you should be able to ping it from your PC.

Open a command prompt and type in ping IP ADDRESS such as 192.168.0.1 or 2 which ever one you setup the Amiga with.

You should return 4 good packets of data. You can then repeat the process on the Amiga side, that is if ping or something similar came with Miami. If not then look on Aminet for this tool.

If you can send and receive data from both machines then it should be working. If not then you need to start looking at things like the cabling or the nic/transceiver for instance.

This is not an easy thing to troubleshoot when you don't exactly know what to look for and what is normal and was is not

Thanks Jmmijo......I tried to ping the Amiga from the PC and it reported 100% loss of packets....i.e.couldn't see the Amiga !

Haven't tried it the other way round yet,but i will take your advice and grab this tool from Aminet just to see if the Amiga can see the PC.

You should also see some activity on the LED's via the HUB that you have connected as well. Look too for the link light, this indicates a good connection between the machine and the hub
