Amiga Explorer connection problem PART TWO
Quote:
Under settings, both PC's have the same IP Address setting, and under Connection type, both are TCP/IP. ---As for your router instructions, they are very helpful, BUT: When typing ifconfig in a shell in the Amiga, I get the ethernet MAC address for the Amiga, BUT: the wildfire 060 address configuration is not all numbers, but alphanumeric in content It is: 0:60:30:ff:ff:a6, and the system rejects it when typing it into the Router Static MAC Address field. Seems it wants numbers instead of letters. ??? ---Update: Can some one assist with this last query, as well as provide instructions as to how to access and change the Amiga's IP Address via the built-in Ethernet on the Wildfire 060 card?

I am quite sure that I only asked for screen shots and not to change something.
A MAC address is a 48 bit value. Writing it as six two-digit hexadecimal numbers seperated by colons is the usual notation. Try 00 as first value. Or try upper case letters. However, I am quite sure that you do not need this static DHCP entry because AmiTCP cannot use DHCP anyway. What you should do instead is to reduce the range of addresses which are used for DHCP below the one used by the Amiga. For example you could use 1 through 120 for DHCP. I guess you will never have 120 PCs at your home at the same time. And you still did *not* give the IP address which is configured in Amiga Explorer. You only wrote that it's the same on both PCs. |

---Hello again Thomas: -Must have misunderstood, my apologies. Will attempt to get screenshots. -As for changing the IP Address, it is intended as an experiment, as the Amiga's IP Address, which is the address set in the AE Properties of both PC's as 192.168.1.125. -The Dynamic IP Address range of the router is from the low side around 192.168.1.64 to the high side of 192.168.1.253. An associate suggested to set the Amiga's Static Address outside that range to see if it makes a difference, hence my query as to how to access the setting. -Will experiment with your suggestion to reduce the range of the router and see what happens. |

Am wondering how the tech would have set up the IP Address when he installed the Wildfire. Thanks again for your patience and assistance. |

Changed the upper IP Address range on the router to 192.168.1.120, as per your suggestion, and the situation deteriorated. Could not access the Amiga from either of the PC's. Had to reset the router to the original settings to restore access to the Amiga. Think I will have to leave this situation alone until I can get a tech over here to have a look, unless you have any further suggestions. Thanks again for your help. |
