My nightmare

Ok, so far Amahi looks amazing. Have it installed, can see my hda from the linux box but it is unreachable elsewhere. I previously actually did have internet access but then I messed with my router to shut off the dhcp and promptly lost connectivity to the net. Additionally I couldn't reach my router at 192.168.0.1 (dlink).

Needless to say, I searched the forums and couldn't come up with an explanation that suited my weak networking experience.

I have also went through the network troubleshooter and have this paste: http://amahi.pastebin.com/YGhkEW2y

Can anybody explain to me (in laymans terms), the steps I must take to get this up and running. I have no problems reinstalling or doing whatever to get this going.. however I think I need a play by play for dummies to get this going.

I'd like to use the DHCP from Amahi if possible.

Just FYI - my network consists of an imac, a hackintosh and a windows xp laptop.

Previously (before mussin' around with the router), I could access each of these machines through my network places on the linux box.

Also, since then I have reinstalled and reset the router and disabled DHCP in Amahi.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks

Mike

looking at your printout there is a network mismatch.

it says your hda is 192.168.1.10 while your router is 192.168.0.1

these network can't talk to each other.

your "old" netowork needs to be on the same network as the hda or it won't work

So either you set hda to 192.168.0.10 or after your deactivate the dhcp in your router you need to get a new ip address for all your machine
They will then get it from the hda and be on the same network

that should work for all box but I am not sure for the router itself. You might have to set it manually (not sure)

Exactly right.

My newbage really got the better of me. I ended up uninstalling and starting all over and realizing my mistake from the very beginning.. 3 installs later.. she works.

Thanks!
