The same version. The errors are most likely due to the CC_RESET problem,
athough I have the clip on fix - but I still get them now and again.

I tried Miami from OS3.5 and still can't ping the PC. I don't think this
is a sofware setup issue at least not on the Amiga side, it is probably
my cable.

But surely with no domain name entered, this shouldn't make any difference
or have you entered a name?

I appreciate the help, I think I'm a little closer. I'll have to try a
different
cable.
