- I have an A3000 with an a2065 and a PC with an NE2000.
- I have been trying (in vain) to get the damn things talking to each
- other over my local network... (And I thought it would be straight
- forward - well it is but...)
- I am positive that the hardware (cabling and connectors) are correct.
- I am using a T-connector and a 50ohm terminator on each end with a 10m
- BNC cable connecting the two together.
- I have tried a variety of TCP/IP stacks including Amitcp4 and AS225 on
- the Amiga and WfW Tcp/IP and Trumpet on the PC and all possible
- combinations.
-
- My concerns are that I initially got the a2065 in the A3000 when I
- purchased the computer 2nd hand. Unfortunately I did not get any
- documentation or software with it so I am not sure that the AS225 was
- working properly. (if anyone has any of this, please give me an email
- back). The a2065 has two different ethernet connectors - the coaxial
- and the 15-pin connector. Perhaps there is a jumper that is setting
- the 15-pin connector as the default connector? Is this possible or is
- it auto-detecting?
-
- In both cases I can 'ping' each computer to itself ie, ping the A3000
- from the A3000. I would suspect that pinging the same computer does
- not send a signal down the cable???? However nothing else works. I
- cannot even ping the other computer - ie Ping the A3000 from the Pc
- and vice-versa.
- I suspect that the A3000 side is the 'bad' end but I guess I am not
- really sure...
-
- Could anyone help please? I have been trying this for a couple weeks
- and have run out of ideas?
