How to set up Internet access
Paolo_Ricardo:
I'm not knowledgeable about networking so I'm hoping someone can give me an idiot's guide.
I have a modem/router connected to my laptop with an Ethernet cable. I would like to get access to the internet but I don't really know how to set it up. I presume I have to get involved with TCP/IP. My adapter is an Intel PRO/1000 (MultiMac32-E1000B) and it is using IBM TCP/IP as its network protocol.
Im not bothered about getting a wireless setup so I'd be very grateful if someone could lead me through the process of setting up a wired installation.
This is an ArcaOS 5 installation.
Thanks in advance.
Paul

It should just work. If not can you describe what you're seeing? We'll go from there.

In tcpip, ---Host Name --- Name server address --- put 192.168.1.1 or your DNS or your ip router

Dave - What I see is that when I try find a website in Firefox it tells me 'Server Not Found'.

IP Address
- 127.0.0.1 localhost
- 192.168.1.254 c ?
There don't appear to be any entries in the other TCP/IP pages apart from 'Configure General Parameters' which show my RSH/LPR User name and Time Zone.
I've really no idea what these options should say so your advice is well appreciated.
Thanks
Paul

Paul,
Could you please post the contents of the file setup.cmd , that can be found in \mptn\bin ?
It should contain a line like
--- Code: ---route add default IP-address-of-your-router -hopcount 1
--- End code ---
Alternatively, you could use DHCP instead of setting a fixed IP-address.
