Amiga ethernet file sharing!
Hi guys!
Right I got a network going between an a1200 and a pc via ethernet using Genesis (NetconnectV2) Now I want to be able to use the amiga to see pc's drives for file sharing. I have dabbled with SMB-Connect (not samba) and I dont know how to set it up right |

I found Samba to be overly complicated and too slow to use. But, if you must go that path, the official Amiga Samba page (http://www.birrabrothers.com/tiger/data/samba/index.htm) has a pretty good install guide. I personally use Siamese System 2.5 which if you can find (v2.1 doesn't require the PC side dongle ) is very easy to setup on both the PC and Amiga side, and seems to be very fast.

Setting up SMB-Connect isn´t that difficult, just modify your MOUNTLIST in DEVS: like this :
# /* net drive handler */ SMB0: Handler = L:SMB-Handler Stacksize = 40000 Priority = 10 GlobVec = -1 Mount = 1 Startup = "C=\\COMPUTERNAME:192.168.0.1\SHARE_NAME MH=AMIGA W=WORKGROUP DN=BACKUP" # Be sure to change the IP and the Computername to fit your PC´s settings also the WORKGROUP ! DN is the name that will be displayed on Amiga side ..... now be sure SMB-Connect is correctly installed and type at CLI : "MOUNT SMB0:" Thats it, now you can access your shared PC drives as Amiga HD´s |

Sorry, didn't read close enough (thought Samba was mentioned not SMB-Connect).

I got mine 5+ years ago at Software Hut. It wasn't a bad price at the time and cost me ~$150 without the hardware switcher. Also, at the time Samba was just being ported to the Amiga and was very raw.
But, that is why I said "if" you can find it. It looks like HiQ is now gone. So, you might find it in old stock at a computer store, or perhaps you could find a less legal copy of 2.1 on the internet somewhere (if you do, I'd love to lose the PC dongle which effectively makes my PC an inch longer). |

BTW, I'm going to try SMB-Connect this weekend and I'll let you know what I find out. It looks like technology has improved over the years.

Siamese...
It used to be available from Eagle Computer GmbH in Germany, but if they are still there I don't know. I got my 4000T from them in 97.
