I have booted from the OS4.1 CD and done a quick format of
the OS4.1 partition and did a new install of OS4.1.
Now i have no files or settings screwed up.
Checked in s/startup that the network line is commented out.

Reboot.

Done the post-install but scipped the network-installation, i
will do that myself.

Ok, my first test is with the internet-prefs: OS4.1 hangs a few
seconds after selecting the eth3comdevice.

Reboot.

My second test is with the wizzard: OS4.1 hangs a few seconds
after the dialer-requester that says "searching for ethernet adapters...".

Conclusion, it is when the eth3com.device is selected that
a few seconds later OS4.1 hangs. And it is not my fault.
I have a great working connection under OS4.0 so there is
no reason why it should not work under OS4.1, unless there
is something that has changed in OS4.1.

@nbache

No i did not replace those, i will try it.

...

Ok, replaced those files, but the same result.

@nbache

Thank you very much for the explanation.


Well, you never know, I will try and replace that library.

...

Ok, i replaced the libs and rebooted, but the result stays the same.

I have no idea anymore what it is that causes this problem.

It will be interesting to hear from others with an A1(SE) and
how it went with their connections with the internet.

This is what i got when typing "ping 192.168.2.1" in OS4.0:

PING 192.168.2.1 (192.168.2.1): 56 data bytes
64 bytes from 192.168.2.1: icmp_seq=0 ttl=255 time=10.22 ms
64 bytes from 192.168.2.1: icmp_seq=1 ttl=255 time=3.009 ms
64 bytes from 192.168.2.1: icmp_seq=2 ttl=255 time=3.259 ms
etc...
--- 192.168.2.1 ping statistics ---
11 packets transmitted, 11 packets received, 0% packet loss
round-trip min/avg/max = 2.89/4.451/10.22 ms


"ping 192.168.1.1" gives 100% packet loss.


Ok, i have tried again in OS4.0 to make a static connection and
i succeeded, this is what my interface is:

device=eth3com.device
hardwaretype=Ethernet
address=192.168.2.101
netmask=255.255.255.0
mtu=0

The ping command worked also.


I am now again in OS4.1 and have connected with the same
settings, but again afther a few seconds my system hangs,
again true the use of the eth3com.device.

I was looking for the Roadshow program but i could not
find it, instead i found in c/ roadshowcontrol and in
internet/ dialer. But both these have the same date from
2006 so they have not changed.

Are there any other programs related to roadshow?

Update:

Aha, i found the file ethernet_devices.db that was new
and much more smaller then the old one. I replaced it,
tried the connection again, but sadly it was not working. :(

@nbache

Thanks, for your help.

The only file i have is in Devs/Interfaces, that's the one i
have copied over to OS4.1, normaly it should work, but it's not.

I have no settings for Roadshow in envarc/.

I even tried to make a connection with the ppp-ethernet device and
the wizzard (Roadshow?) said that it was not nessesairy to do that and
to go just to prefs/internet and make the connection there.

@yescop

Ok, this is what i have done. Under OS4.0 i have runned
ShowNetStatus and from there i could see the ip-address:
192.168.2.107 and mask: 255.255.255.0. Still under OS4.0
i have filled in these numbers under static and disabled dhcp.
Then i tried to make a connection but it failed for some reason.
I also tried other ip's like, 192.168.2.100, 192.168.2.1, etc.

Then i booted in OS4.1 and filled in this ip and mask and tried
to make a connection. Still no go as i suspected because i was
again using the eth3com.device to make the connection.
I even had to reset my cablemodem/routers afther that.

So, no matter what settings i use, it does not matter, it is the
start of the eth3com.device that stops OS4.1 from working.
I have a few seconds that it tries to connect and afther that
the mouse does not move anymore or with the booting up
(startup network comment on) it stays in the bootscreen.

So, there is something that has changed in OS4.1, but what
software that is changed, that i do not know. I have used the
OS4.0 internet-prefs, eth3com.device, and netinterface-file
but still no go under OS4.1.

@yescop

I have made a new partition and i have quick formatted it.
No old files on the partition. Then i have made a new install.

I can not give you working connections because then i have
to use the eth3com.device and OS4.1 hangs then. I can make
non-working ones, but those are useless anyway.

The only thing i can do is to use an OS4.0 connection, but then
again i uses the eth3com.device under OS4.1 and hangs. Here
are those settings that work fine under OS4.0:

device=eth3com.device
hardwaretype=Ethernet
configure=dhcp
id=telenet.be
mtu=0

I have no tcp in the devs/internet/ drawer.

Again, it's not the settings that are a problem, it is the
use of the eth3com.device that hangs OS4.1 from the
moment that i select it in the wizzard or the prefs.

@sundown

Thanks, for the link.

Well, i have set the ip-adresses but it stays the same because
i have to select the eth3com.device and it is then that OS4.1 hangs.

In the mean time i have commented the startup-line out via the boot-cd
and have removed the devs/netinterfaces and internet/connections afther
a configuration, so this way i do not have to do a new install of the OS.

I have also tried the older (OS4) internet-prefs but it is the same under
OS4.1, as soon as i select the eth3com.device a few seconds later the
system hangs.

Under OS4.0 all is working fine, even via an other router-port.

@yescop

Thanks, for your help.

I have retried to reconfigure my connection under OS4.0 and
i had no problems to connect true the eth3com.device.
Even the wizzard worked.

But when i try exact the same thing under OS4.1 the system
hangs when i choose the eth3com.device. I have even tried
to do the same thing as you.

In the morning i will try an other port on the router for OS4.1,
maybe that could solve the problem, but i am not sure.

My connection is: cabelmodem -> router -> connection via electric -> A1

Hi,

I have troubles with OS4.1 and my network.

When i boot from my OS4.0 partition i can always connect to the internet.

When i try to configurate the network in OS4.1 with network-prefs it hangs
afther i choose the eth3com.device. I have also tried to change to the older
(OS4.0) eth3com.device but the result is the same.

With the wizzard i have the same problem.

I had to reinstall OS4.1 because i had tried with the post-install to configurate
the network and when booting it hanged on the bootscreen, no way out.

Has something changed in OS4.1?

My AmigaOne is in my bedroom upstairs and is connected
true a cheap settup true the electricity lines and the router
below in the garage.

Like this one: netgear

If there is an "_68k" extension in the name and it is a new
program or an updated program then i see no problems too.

Happy Birthday from me to, seems i am nr. 5.


@Hondo

It appears that you've got your home-button now.

It is old news that Hyperion offered repairs for ppc-boards and
i think it was via a French repair shop but i am not sure.

Here is the link:

http://www.amigacenter.com/Homer.html

Edit: It is not because this board dit not got repaired that all
the rest off the repaired boards are bad too. Btw. i did send
my board to dce a long time ago and it took a long time too.

@Atheist

I would think, making straw baskets or plates from it.

I have done some emails to Carl and Bill some time ago about this.

It would not surprice me if there would be some REBOL parts in the future.

DE + OS4 + REBOL, perhaps ?

@Chris

Wel they should atleast be rewarded if they lose their crops to the other country.

Any body else had this email about...

You can also see it as a dispute over a boundary
by two countrys, it is not because they are fighting
or discussing over it that one or both are bad.

It is importend to have a clear line and that is what
is going on now, the line is blury and there need
some things to be set straight.

Lets wait and see what comes out of it.

I just hope they do it fast.

There is one thing i do not understand. If Amiga Inc. has so
much money why can they not give Hyperion (+ the OS4-team)
some extra money for the extra work that is done?

If they would give 50K or 100K for the latest version of the OS
would that be to much?

How much would OS4 be worth by now?
