Shame it has ended - I think they must sell them quite regularly though... |

Ah! I see! Right, I will have a look into that - thanks!

Electroblaster, did you win the auction above?
Can't help but notice you've just started a thread saying you’ve acquired a compatible card! :) :laugh |
Hi blood!
no i went to my local Pwee Cee shoppe and bought an Apollo MQ4EC2T card....but it wont talk to the pc???? cnet.device reports the card ok aswell? it trys to but fails.. and the plug part that fits into the card is a bit dodgy :( i will have to take it back! |
Well if all else fails there are 2 more Kingston retail cards up for grabs at the following links on ebay:
Link 2 Link 3 Plus that david@ukmemory.com probably has more lying around. :) Only £10 + £4 P&P. Not bad! PCI ethernet cards are about £7 + £4 P&P so overall a cheap network option. Might get round to doing it myself sometime, but for the moment PCtoAmi is just fine. :) EDIT:david certainly does have a big crate of these cards! He's put up another lot: Link 4 |

What TCP/IP stack are you using? Have you set up your network parameters right? What have you set up as your IP's Net Masks, etc. If your card is working okay, I doubt you will need to take it back... (oh - and those plugs are *always* dodgy :) One of the most badly designed things ever IMO.) |
About SMB-Connect
I use SMB-Connect to connect my amiga to the PC and it works about 1 out of 10 times I try... Whatever settings I use it is almost cetain to Guru on me ... even on the totally clean boot. But when it doesn't guru it works VERY well :) Luckyly I only use it to backup stuff from amiga->pc.
Anyone knows what might be wrong ? I would use it more if it wouldn't guru so much. Ah, the TCP/IP stack that I use is MIAMI (latest). |
Well, I use MIAMI too with SMB-Connect and I never had any problems with Guru or anything like that :confused
|
Is all this software free and on Aminet Retro? Do you get drive access of the PC for transferring files?
How fast is your connection? |
Retroman, could you send me your version of SMB-Connect (if it is not the one on aminet) ? I think the problem might be the PCMCIA card though, I need to find another one to test this.

Just to update on this network! its been running 100% ever since I set it up! I love it :D
I got a kingston KNE-PC20 10mbit card running sweet, never get any crashes and its fast! I also bought one of those hub's and now we have 2 main pc's linked up with a third that can be plugged in when its needed or for when my m8's drop round wanting amiga games :) |
:)
Nice.
I`m going into my local shop on Saturday to see what they got in the way of pcmcia cards.. Now all I need is someone toput another monitor or tv.. for my A1200 ! hmmppfff as a last resort, I could use the rf in on my tv card, and use that! |
Funny enougth i have been using my tv-card for that exact purpose m8!
it works great for me :) but dont use the RF output! use the composite plug instead.... the picture is cleaner :) |
ah ha!
Yes, well done man... I have one of those too :)
ok it`s settled then :) |
hmmm
oops
|
hmmm
hmm thought I`d get a cleaner picture with the composite out from the A1200..
any way of getting it better? |
suppose you could try the RF instead! just i found the composite signal better on my setup!
the only real way is to get a monitor for the amiga. |
