Hi All

Problems with PCMCIA ethernet Card port?

I have two Amiga 1200

My Main Amiga 1200 work fine with the Amigakit Easynet PCMCIA Card.

And my 2nd Amiga 1200 PCMCIA Port is NOT working, I got it a while age nerver tested to port until now.

Can anyone tell me a way of testing to see why the port has gone down.

Thank

SYS:Tools/PrepCards lists some info or cardinfo?
may happen there are some damaged pins of the port.
try to inspect the port like done here. maybe a bent pin.

I am using Easynet and i am having lots of errors, have I installed something wrong?

Run Cardinfo

Drive is running Prism2 v2.6 as you can see it is running

as you can see it has a great wireless connection

Press to go online

as you can see it connecting to wireless network

1st error ???

2nd error ???

rd error ???

this is now doing my head in

Looks like card works but software doesn't.

i have no clue about Easynet, but idrougge is right.
is there an installer for AmiTCP on the EasyNet floppy?

if not:
latest free AmiTCP you can find on aminet. it comes with an installer.

some guide on installing amitcp 30b2

AmiTCP is on the Easynet CD i have

I have now install amitcp 30b2 and I have the same error???

is there a way to remove all AmiTCP and EasyNet from the Amige including all the places has been signed to i.e userstarter and more??

hmm, one message says: AmiTCP must be started first.

i really have no clue how amitcp will start. maybe something in s:user-startup or an icon in SYS:WBStartup

there might be a logfile in sys:AmiTCP - subfolder LOG or something.
if there is a recent logfile, just read it, maybe it reveals some problems.

i guess AmiTCP has been installed in SYS: AmiTCP
if there is a folder visible on your boot partition, look inside for a "Start AmiTCP" icon, or something like that, start it, if there is such thing.

if you want remove amitcp and easynet, you can look for EasyNet and AmiTCP entries in s:user-startup
you can comment out these lines, with a ; at the start of each line.

if you re-install easynet from your CD, look for a start option for amitcp. maybe you can choose between manual or automatic.
