        TIA does NOT SUPPORT PING...   so 100 % packet loss is expected for
that...  BUT, can you ping yourself on your machine -- that should show if
AmiTCP is running.

        If domain names aren't working, I'd suspect you don't have the
netdb-myhost file set up correctly for 3.0b2...  You need to have the IP
addresses of at least one name server in that file -- the nameserver is
responsible for translating abc.def.ghi -> 123.45.67.89

        Try starting TIA with 'TIA -address', it should return some values you
need...

        You may also want to remove the gateway definitions.

        My netdb-myhost, and Startnet files are:
