Hi

I recently purchased your Amiga to PC Linkup software and cable...

but i'm having a few problems setting it up.

After running the PC2amres program on Windows 98 SE, the software seems to
just stop.. displaying

Amiga <-> PC transferer
DOS 7.0+ detected, using long filesnames.
Resident installed.

with the standard MICROSOFT WINDOWS POP-UP PROGRAM SUPPORT message.

It does not close and "sit" on the task manager?

Then on the Amiga, i run the mount software for KS3, an ICON X box appears
and displays a few error messages, mainly .info errors, but a PC Disk icon
appears...

Using both Workbench and the Filer program, i am able to browse my PC
drives, but if i try to upload anything to the PC, i get packet errors
displaying...

Data to long or such like, it manages only about 10% of the transfer...

-
I am using an existing RJ45 network for broadband net access through NTL,
would this have any effect?
-
ARGHHHHH, i'm stuck... please advise of what steps i can take to rectify the
problem

Many Thanks

I think you need to read my tips again djay.

A couple of other tips since I use this program a lot between my Amiga and Win95 PC:

1. Download Requester.lha from Aminet. I can't live without it! I altered my startup script to run "retry 3" then it mounts PC: and this way when an error pops up, it will automatically hit the retry button after 3 seconds. That is about the best number I've found to get it to resync after an error. Nothing worse than going to bed leaving 1 gig to transfer and it stopped during the first file waiting for you to press a button!

2. I find if I close NetworKPC on the PC side things go crazy if I restart it. Files get transferred as 0 bytes and half the files in directory listings are missing. I generally reboot the amiga if it gets too stuffed up. Plus the amiga takes 5 seconds to boot, the PC over 1 minute. No choice

Hope that helps!
