Hi chaps,

Predicatably enough I'm aftr some advice. Inspired by the ADSL article in
Issue 12 of Total Amiga, I have decided to finally take the plunge. I now
have a pcmcia ethernet card (3 Com 3C589D) and a USB (3009) modem/router.
Using Neil Cafferkey's 3C589 device my hopes were high at being able to
access the modem's web based config screens, thus "proving" the system,
but I have not been successful so far.

I have installed the driver, and made some changes to my TCP stack, in
db/interfaces and startnet. I'm using AmiTCP 4.0 Demo.

Initially I was getting an error that read:

ifconfig ioctl (SIOCGIFFLAGS) no such interface

But after reconnecting everything - that no longer appears, which I'm
taking as a good thing.   :)

Also typeing "eth0:" into a shell only produces "Please insert volume eth0
into any drive" so I'm missing something.

I'm operating on the assumption that my AmiTCP 4.0 config isn't quite
right, any pointers or suggestions, I'm afraid I'm a bit stumped.  :)

I know probably the smart thing would be just to buy Genesis or Miami, but
I would like to know that the hardware works before investing any more
money.

Thanks for any advice.


                  All the best,
                        Angus Manwaring.       (for e-mail remove ANTISPEM)
