This text file shows how to set up a TCP/IP connection between
Windows 9x and Amiga (MIAMI). I found it in some web site, and
now I've included my Miami.default file just in case.
I wanted to do this to play Quake VERSUS mode using my A1200
and a P200 I got. It worked perfectly.
You can use this to any TCP usage you want, for example
connecting PC and Amiga to Internet at same time. (Great if
you have ISDN, cable... in the PC, and you don't have ethernet
cards) You should install some proxy software in PC to do this
(Wingate, for example).
If you have problems, email me: 0maniac0@teleline.es
CONFIGURATION FOR PC (WINDOWS 9x):
1) First of all, connect the serial cable with both machines turned
off.
2) Next, get into Control Panel, and click in Modems. Click Add.
Select "Don't detect my modem, I will select it from a list", and
then click Next. Click on Have Disk. Click on Browse. Select the
directory where you saved the null modem driver (MDMCISCO.INF).
Click OK. Select "Generic NULL Modem" and click Next. Select the
COM port you are using for the serial cable. Wait while windows
installs the driver, then click "Finish". You should have a new
"modem" installed - the Generic NULL Modem.
3) Click on My Computer, then on Dial-up Networking. Select "Make a
new connection". Give it a nice name ("Amiga", for instance) and
then select Generic NULL Modem as the device. Click on Configure.
Set the maximum speed to your liking (57600 works nice for me), and
then click OK. Type '0' as phone number (it doesn't matter)
Right-click on your newly-created connection, and
select Properties.Click on the "Server Types" tab and select
"PPP:Windows 95, NT3.5, Internet". Leave ALL the other items
unchecked except for the last one (TCP/IP). Click on "TCP/IP
Settings" right beside it. Select "Specify an IP address", and
enter the IP for your PC (if you don't have one yet or don't know
what I'm talking about, I suggest you enter 192.168.1.1). Select
"Server assigned name server addresses", and leave the items at the
bottom unchecked. Click OK. OK again.
4) Go to your Windows directory, and find a file named "Hosts".
Edit this file. Just add the following lines and save it back:
192.168.1.1 windows
192.168.1.2 amiga
Remember to change the IP related to "Windows" if you already have
an IP for your PC.
IF YOU WANT TO USE PC AS PROXY:
5) Install WinGate. You may leave everything at default without
entering anything for now, it'll be best to set things up later.
The only thing you'll have to specify is the IP address related to
your PC, which should match the "windows" line in the Hosts file
(192.168.1.1 in our case).
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
We're all set on the PC side. Let's move on to the Amiga, which
should take fewer steps:
Open Miami and follow these steps:
1) Interface Tab
Configure as follows:
Interface type: built-in-serial (PPP/CSLIP)
Speed (same as PC - 38400, whatever)
Use CD - Unchecked
Protocol - async PPP
IP Type - static
IP Address - 192.168.1.2
Multicasts - disabled
MTU - 1005
2) PPP tab
Configure like so:
PAP/CHAP - nothing in there
Callback - none
VJC - checked
Get DNS - unchecked
Termreq - checked
Quick reconnect disabled
ACCM - a0000
Escape - nothing in there
3) Database tab
Configure like so:
Go to the DB titles "hosts" and add two entries
192.168.1.1 windows
192.168.1.2 amiga
4) TCP/IP
Host Name - amiga
Use ICMP - yes
Use DHCP - No
Verify DNS - No
Fake IP - No
T/TCP - No
Ping Flood protection - No
5) Modem - Check Null Modem
IF YOU WANT TO USE PC AS PROXY:
6) Socks
Enable SOCKS - yes
Default SOCKS server - 192.168.1.1
Port - 1080
Max Syslog level - none
Authentication - none
Save the new settings with the desired name
___________________________________________________________________
The connection
___________________________________________________________________
Now let's do the actual connection. Assuming the serial cable's
already connected and both machines are fired up, do the following:
1) Run Miami on the Amiga;
2) Double-click on the "Amiga" connection in Dialup Networking on
your PC, but don't click on "Connect" just yet;
3) Click on the "Online" button in Miami;
4) Click on "Connect" on Windows. You should see a "Hello"
appearing in the bottom part of the window in Miami.
5) Click on "Send Break" in Miami. In one second you should be
connected.
___________________________________________________________________
WinGate Configuration
___________________________________________________________________
This is the final step towards complete internet sharing between
the two computers. Start Gatekeeper (in your WinGate program
group), click on OK to proceed without entering an administrator
password. You should receive a warning to create a password for the
administrator. Do so, and be sure to have it always on hand, as you
will need it every time you enter Gatekeeper.
Next, get into the "services" item, and check if you have the "WWW
Proxy server". If not, add it to the services list by selecting the
Tools menu, items new/service/WWW Proxy Service.
Double-click on this service, and a new window should open. Select
the second tab, named Bindings, and check "Allow connections coming
in on any interface". (I haven't had success determining my PC's IP
on "Connections will be accepted on the following interface only",
but you might want to give it a try.) There's one security issue
that arises from allowing connections from anywhere, as your
newly-created service could be used by anyone on the internet. If
you own a regular dialup connection to a provider, that wouldn't be
much to worry about, as it is very doubtful that anyone would find
your service, let alone want to use it! For the paranoids out
there, there's no way that someone could access your personal
computer files through this "breach". Click on OK, and save
changes.
You now have a WWW proxy server that can be used by the Amiga. On
the "network" options on Voyager, IBrowse or AWeb, you should
specify "Use HTTP Proxy", and specify your PC's IP address
(192.168.1.1 in this document's case) as the proxy server. Port is
always port 8080. Click on OK, and get back to the browser's main
screen.
Now connect to the internet with your PC, and go back to your
browser on the Amiga. Enter any http address you would like to
access (try altavista.digital.com or www.yahoo.com), and it should
retrieve the document without any problems.
Things aren't more complicated for the other services, except maybe
for IRC, which requires fiddling with TCP mapping in WinGate. I
will add complete instructions to this, as well as Siamese
configuration for file and printer sharing through TCP/IP in the
next week or so, but if you have any questions or comments you can
contact me at alpharoid@bitsmart.com.
