Configuring the Amiga Network

This has been tested with the Roadshow and the MiamiDX TCP/IP stacks.

These instructions show how to configure Roadshow and Miami for a314ethernet, they do not describe how to install either.

Attention: W-Lan Country, SSID and Passphrase must be set correctly on the Pi.

Roadshow

Files for Amiga config can be found here: https://github.com/niklasekstrom/a314/tree/main/Software/ethernet/amiga-config

  • Copy amiga-config/A314Eth to DEVS:NetInterfaces/A314Eth.

  • Copy amiga-config/routes to DEVS:Internet/routes.

  • Copy amiga-config/name_resolution to DEVS:Internet/name_resolution.

  • You should change the nameserver to a DNS server that works on your network.

Note that there may be settings in the above two files (routes and name_resolution) that you wish to keep, so look through the changes you are about to make first.

Reboot the Amiga and with some luck you should be able to access the Internet from your Amiga.

Miami

  • Create new device entry under Hardware

  • Click New and select Ethernet

  • Name it accordingly, for example a314eth

  • Type should be SANA-II driver

  • For Driver, type in, or browse to and select, DEVS:a314eth.device and click OK

  • Create a new network interface in Interfaces

  • Click New and select Ethernet and Internet, click OK

  • Select the previously created a314eth and click OK

  • Set IP to static and type in 192.168.2.2

  • Set Netmask to static and type in 255.255.255.0

  • Set Gateway to static and type in 192.168.2.1

  • Click OK

  • Add a nameserver in Database

  • Select DNS servers from the spinner

  • Click Add and type in the address of your DNS server and press enter (you can use for example Google's DNS server at 8.8.8.8 if unsure)

Remember to save your settings!

Click Online and hopefully your Amiga now has internet access.

Autostarting Miami and further configuration is left to the user.

Important note: After ethernet.py starts it waits for 15 seconds before it starts forwarding Ethernet frames. Without this waiting there is something that doesn't work properly (I don't know why this is). So when the Amiga boots for the first time after power off you'll have to wait up to 15 seconds before the Amiga can reach the Internet.
