Hi all
I am trying to access my pc from my amiga, the amiga is online can pings the pc and the pc can ping the amiga, but i cant get amiga explorer to find the amiga drive , i have tried turning off all firewalls but i still get the message "there has been a conflict accessing the amiga explorer resources".
anyone got any ideas?
thanks Juv.U.K

check that the passwords are correct, check that anti virus on the pc isnt getting in the way, check you have copied over the icon for the amiga side bit, and that its tooltypes are set up
check you have bsdsocketlibrary, check the ip's are right on the pc side properties


i have this working, and its kinda cool

if you whack the transmission rate up from 512 to 1500 it works faster too


ethernet can handle this, serial cant

Hi All,

I got Amiga Explorer working over serial which I used to transfer across amitcp and pcmcia wireless card drivers etc, my A1200 is now connected to my LAN.

Now I would like to use Amiga Explorer to transfer more files but over IP rather than serial...the doco talks about setting the password on the Amiga side however I can't find where this is set? Can anyone give me a clue?

Everything else seems ok...i.e. I can use telnet on the AE port (365 from memory) and can see that my miggy is listening for connections.

Eventually I will get my main linux box setup as a samba server but in the mean time getting AE setup over IP will be good.

Thanks

Ben

Holy crap, I didn't realize people still use that!

To change AExplorer settings, open the icon information and check the tooltypes.

If you run AExplorer from the shell, the icon is ignored and you need to write every non-default settings into the command line.

Thanks Thomas, will give that a try.

If you run Genesis on the Amiga, open the Genesis window and check the log. If it says something like "access from <pc's ip addr> to port <some number> denied", then open the settings window, go to access filter and and add a rule which allows access to that port. IIRC it is port 356. Alternatively you can remove the rule which forbids access to all unknown ports.

The same applies to AmiTCP with the difference that it does not have a log, so you have to guess what might be wrong.

Note that AExplorer does not work with AmiTCP V3 and below.
