I was not using MorphOS for a while (I'm usually playing with Gentoo PPC ^^;), but today I realized that the network has stopped working!

When I query the via_rhinepci.device it gives me a different MAC address from that in the Linux side!! Why?? I am using the 100Mbit adapter.

I tried upgrading Morphos to 1.4.2 (I hadn't done yet), but the problem remains.

And MiamiDX freezes a lot ... If I kill the app (with scout), I can't open it again, so I have to reboot ....

BTW, AmiTCP was ported to AROS, right? Any MorphOS port on the way?

How much it wents nuts.. this much:

Your usage of GentooPPC might be the cause of your problems. The newer kernel revisions implement a new initialization of the Ethernet controller that is not handled correctly under MOS 1.4.x (future revisions are said to cure this problem too, among the others...). The simple solution is to unplug the power chord from the Pegasos and therefore perform some kind of "hard reset" of said controller every time you need to use the network under the current MOS revision.

Kind regards,

Yup, as guruman said you need to unplug or flip the switch and kill power to you box. It will reset the ethernet adapter and all will be fine again for a MorphOS boot. If you run gentoo again you do to do it all over. Update your kernal. I think the latest one fixes this. Also the cube bootable Pegasos II CD will do this.

Thank u all

Yeah, Gentoo was the responsible ^^; I am using kernel 2.6.10-r2, but it seems it's the latest in pegasos-sources...

Anyway, I m writing from IBrowse now :)

I also noticed that gmail now works with Voyager and IBrowse! Cool! It's fast!

I installed miamidx last night but could not configure it well enough to get the peg online with V.

The only thing I can browse is the routers configuration screen. I suspect its partially the routers fault.

Check dns. Try to ping known external ip and later dns. If first works and second doesn't, you've nailed your problem

I can ping the router's IP (which is also the same IP for routers DNS server) and the IP assigned from the router to the Peg, but no other IP addresses.

OK, I left the router off overnight and re-tried again when I came home from work, I got net on peg! ;)

(I also chose internet instead of LAN, in miami's settings, if that makes a difference?)

[edit]

OK, its dead again (blame the router), I guess I'll have to get yet another router that actually works more often than crashing.

Use MiamiDX and use DHCP if you have a router. This works perfect for me on many boxes i've built..
