Hello all together,

im new to MorphOS and i hope you can answer a question. My registered MorphOS(on Mac mini G4 Late 2005) ist running fine. Next to the Mac mini stand my Amiga 500 with Network-Card. The Router is far away so i cant connect the Network by cable with the Router. The Mac mini is connected to the Internet over WiFi.

Is it possible to connect the Amiga with AmigaOS 3.2 by wire mith the Mac mini Network-Port and use him as an Access Point. Can MorphOS "share" the Internet-Connection to AmigaOS 3.2?

Thank you for your answers and regards...

I don't know if you can set up Internet sharing, but if all you need to do is transfer Amiga files (downloaded from MorphOS via Wi-Fi) over Ethernet, I don't think you'll have any trouble setting up an Ethernet connection between the two computers (using a different subnet class than the Wi-Fi router and not entering any gateway or DNS addresses), setting up a simple FTP server on one of the computers and an FTP client on the other

In past I shared internet connection via my A4000 + Miami to PC

It could work with MophOS today, but I am not tested this config.
Try to enable "Gateway mode" in Prefs/Network/Advanced
You also have to configure wired network on A500 And Mini ( Prefs/Network/NetworkInterfaces/eth0 )

Yes, thats exact what i want. Download over MorphOS by WiFi and send over to the direct connected Amiga 500. Thank you, i will test it, if i can get this to run.

Thanks for your answer, i will test it also in the future and will give Feedback here.

If anyone is interested, i have now solved the problem in another way. I found a tp-link box in the electronics market for under 20 euros that supports a so-called “client” mode. This means that the Amiga is connected directly to the router and web browser, etc. Everything works directly. This means I don't have to worry about internet sharing etc.
