Plipbox: problem configuring HD network startup

[Eamoe]

Hi, I've used the Network Boot Disk to successfully start the Amiga with a working network stack, i.e. I can FTP log in, list and copy files from the Win10 PC. But I can't configure the HD install to start the Amiga with the network stack.

I've copied all files from the Network Boot Disk to the hard drive, made the necessary startup-sequence and user-startup amendments, watched the assign.

When the Amiga boots from the HD, this is what I get in the CLI window, just before LoadWB:

ifconfig: ioctl (SIOCGIFFLAGS): no such interface
add host amiga.netbootdisk: gateway localhost
$nbdgw: bad argument
AmiTCP/IP version 3 beta

And the Amiga is unreachable. What am I doing wrong?

Try running Snoopdos at the top of the user-startup and see what fails.
I'm not too familiar with AmiTCP/IP.

Okay I've added the execution of Snoopdos at the top of user-startup, but it halts the system, i.e. it will not let the batch proceed until I quit Snoopdos. What's the syntax for Snoopdos to start in another process?

The line is now:

Work:Utilities/Snoopdos/Snoopdos

EDIT: by the way I've already tried copying the plipbox.device driver file again from the Plipbox floppy, just in case the driver file was corrupt (regarding message "no such interface"), to no avail.
