I'm looking to escape the dredges that is dial up and move to cable. Is anybody here using Road Runner?

Furvert

WTF is RoadRunner?

Coyote & RoadRunner?

Close timofonic!

It's a broadband service provider, owned by Time Warner Cable

@todi

LOL, it seems a joke

The name isn't serious, who can care of it with that name?

No joke. I'm using them now. Great service provider in my view.

To answer the original poster, they work just fine under MorphOS. Of course, it matters more what TCP/IP stack you're running. I happen to be using MiamiDX and it was a little tricky for a MOS newbie like me getting it configured but it has been working awesome ever since.

I'm not using them, but I do use Cox cable internet. It works the same way. The best way I have found to use it would be to get a router. Let that handle the DHCP settings. I know cox requires a DHCP connection to handle the IP routing. Then you can set up MiamiDX to use DHCP as well and use the miami init thing to do all the settings for you by itself. Worked great for me. You can also use Genesis set to a static IP if the router is making the DHCP connection to the cable modem.

Thanks.
Hmm Ok. Does it have to be DX. All I have is 3.2b. I know there is a setting for using DHCP.

I'm using 3.2b and it works just fine.

Miami is one of the best TCP stacks on any platform, well it was while
Holger was maintaining it. Too bad he can't be found these days, even
to take registration keys.

Anyone heard from Holger lately?

Miami might be best if you are using it on a 68k machine, but on Morphos its
really a break for the system.

* Really Low transfer rates, and sending data from pegasos requires is worse
and it drains your cpu, doing all these 68k network copy(?) emulations all the time.

* Using miami as a router hangs your pegasos every 10-40 mins, seem to happen in
random time.

* Having many open connections seems to choke morphos, so using mldonkey or ctorrent
isnt excactly efficient as you need to reset all the time.
This i tried solve with to use the pc and emule but since it was still miami controlling
all the traffic, the random hangs and freezes still happen to the system.


Miami was a great tcp/ip stack and have alot of settings to touch but it does its job best
on 68k machines. It should be just left alone there as its not doing a good job on Morphos.

!!!!!!!!!! Morphos needs a *native* tcp stack as soon as possible. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
