I also use a static IP and I do not have your problem at all, it connects right away! Perhaps it could be your dial-up account?
Hi all,
here perhaps some usefull infomrations for anyone who uses Netstack for the internet (from MorphOS 2.1) together with Envoy3 for LAN.
After a lot of trying several solution and testing and testing and testing I finally got it working the following way:
I set-up netstack with a fixed IP, e.g. 192.168.1.25, netmask 255.255.255.0 and gateway 192.168.1.1
I switched off "eth1"
Under "Hosts and DNS" I entered "Pegasos5" under the Hostname and I entered for the primary, secondary and tertiary domain name server the ip's that I've got from my internet provider for dial-up.
Then under "Hosts" in Prefs I entered a new line with 192.168.2.25 for the ip and Pegasos5 for the name and P5 for the Alias.
Now in Envoy3 as Host Name I have P5 and as Owner Name PEGASOS5. Under Device configuration I have as IP Address 192.168.2.25, as subnet mask and address = default, as IP Type 2049 and as ARP Type 2055.
2 Files reside in WBStartup: Accounts Manager Start.info and Services Manager Start.info
Now here was the problem, when I mounted another Pegasos permanently and the mountfiles reside in System:Devs/DOSDrivers then I always got an Envoy error after reseting the Pegasos: "Could not connect to Host (and then the Hostname) and then a Mount error "Please insert volume (and then de Volume name which should be mounted as per mountfile in DOSDrivers.
When I tried to mount manually after a restart then I got an import error "Attempt to issue c:Mount command failed"
Then I think I fould a solution which seems to work: I entered a line in the user-startup:
mount <>NIL: System:Storage/DOSDrivers/P1-P1-Storage
I tested copying files from a mounted LAN partition to the local HD and get 5 MB/sec, also deleting, rename opening eith several programs, all seem to work.
Perhaps this infos are usefull for some
I have a question though: can anyone explain the differences and when to use which, of:
<>NIL: either before or after the file name?
or >NIL: either befor or after the file name?
