AMIGA X5000, Internet Issues

Post by marley »

I have tried just about everything to get online, and had no luck!, internet wizard etc.. so now I'm beginning to think its the PCI Ethernet Card, can anybody recommend a decent card which will work with the X5000??
The card I am using now is RTL 8139 I have also tried a different card ETH3COM neither work,
not shore where to go from here.. my internet connection is Fibre Broadband and is fast if that helps


any body got any ideas??

Why start another thread?

I suggest you take a deep breath, relax and start again with the assumption that you have made a mistake in trying to set it up.

Not only have hundreds before you done it painlessly, but they have used the same tools and parts as you.

The RTL 8139 works just fine, so does the 8169. It's far more likely that you have connected it wrongly or used the Wizard wrongly.

Javier spelled it all out for you in the previous thread. Read what he wrote, slowly, and do it again, slowly, making sure to do every step.

Slowly go trough the wizard, select proper card, see that final initialization goes right, try AmiUpdate just for sure.

Wizard is not bestly build, could be more user friendly.
