Hi,
there was a thread recently about sharing files between PC and Amiga. I have slightly different situation.
I have a wireless router serving internet to my XP box, IBook and A1200. And everything works well. Now when it comes to getting connected Amiga to PC i dont know where to start.
Amiga has pcmcia wifi card and is running MiamiDX with DCHP.
My aim would be just to have PCs hard drive icon on my Workbench, functioning ofcourse;) Dont care about sharing a printer or anything, not even access Amiga hard disk on PC.
Or should i get another PCMCIA card and run cable from one machine to another:)

smbfs is for you. Just remember to give it enough stack (I'd say 32k is enough)

Have a question about Samba. As router assigns i quess every time (?) different IP to my Amiga and also a PC because of a DCHP, will things still work out or is there a workaround?
Had problems assigning static IP to my Miggy and DCHP worked like a charm. Until now when i need to make connection between those 2.

You have least trouble if the server has a static IP address. The client side (miggy in this case) doesn't need to have static IP address.

i don't think that has to do with the ip but with the name of the pc. you need to set it up in a way that it's looking for the ''Full computer name''.
right click my computer/properties/computer name

And how exactly does smbfs find out about this name?

You'd need some sort of dynamic name resolving (local nameserver), or dynamically generated hosts file for this. As I said, just using static IP for the server is much easier.

Anyway, here is what I use in my lan:

Code: [Select]

run <>nil: l:smbfs CASE DOMAIN=DEBIAN USER=piru PASSWORD=yeahright QUIET VOLUME=peg1: CACHE=1024 SERVICE=//peg1/all

in hosts file I have:

Code: [Select]

10.0.0.2 peg1.home peg1

Handler = L:SMB-Handler
Stacksize = 90000
Priority = 5
GlobVec = -1
Mount = 1
Startup = "C=\\Athlon2800\work MH=Amiga1200 W=AMINET U=xxxxxxx P=xxxxxxxxxx"

this is the mountlist that easynet creates for me using smb-handler. Athlon2800 is the pc's ''Full computer name''
Work is the disk i share and the volume name of the disk i mount on the amiga finaly is ''work on Athlon2800:''. the device name is ATHLON2800:

-edit-
probably smb-handler is a diferent case from smbfs? hmmm
