The earlier Ameristar TCP/IP guru'd at least 5 times per day per Amiga. All these Amigas have A2630's, GVP 105Q (SCSI and SCSI-II), and 5-7MB of RAM. I took every PD program out of the startup-sequence, and have added back in only NewPop for screen blanking. Each system has a CanDo menu running also. PageStream occasionally will hang things up and the Hydra systems peer-peer AmigaNet boards lock the systems up more frequently than I'd like. I don't recall what I've got SetCpu set for, but make sure that you are using the latest SetCpu (1.6?), esp. if you have A2286 BridgeBoards like my machines have. Also, get the latest 1.33(?) WorkBench release and install each appropriate file from those distribution disks. Yours is a problem I finally solved by installing the release version over the Beta and AmeriStar versions. You shouldn't have those problems. Are you using GfxBase's X-Windows? I am and Dale Luck may have had an updated TCP/IP driver of some sort supplied with his release, I can't remember. If these hints don't help, try to EMail me and we'll get a dialog going and get your problems solved. Perhaps I should EMail you an ls of my TCP/IP directory with sizes, that may help point out a version mismatch, if there is one. BTW, some of the netmailers don't have a decent internet address for me, so you may have to try a couple different ways if your mail bounces. voice: (708)691-4747 Internet:dhansen@amiganet.chi.il.us
