Olsen spent a lot of time on the PPP part of Roadshow, it is certainly a lot more reliable than what I recall from AmiTCP and even Miami, and when it comes to slow PPP links over serial, reliability and stability is more important than speed.

kolla wrote: ↑Sat Jun 13, 2020 8:04 am MiamiDx is most certainly overkill for a MiSTer setup, its primary "deluxe" feature is multiple interfaces with routing/bridging/NAT-ing support, so unless you plan to use MiSTer with AmigaOS as a "router" for ... I don't know... perhaps virtual Mac in Shapeshifter?

I can connect and ping out onto my lan but I can't enter DNS settings so I get any name resolution for internet sites.

I can ping from the Amiga to the PPP connection of 192.168.1.254 (Amiga) and 192.168.1.128 (Mister) but anything past that wont' route and can't ping my Gateway of 192.168.1.1

Any suggestions?

Was anyone able to activate 460k on the PPP connection with the internal serial.device of Miami?
I'm stuck at 230k which is not too bad and gives about 22 KBps.

1) Get to MiSTer Linux console
2) Execute
ps -ef | grep pppd
3) Note down the command being executed - it should contain the 115200 baudrate
4) Move pppd binary aside, as we need to replace it with a script in order to modify the arugments being passed
mv /sbin/pppd /sbin/pppd.bin
5) Open the new script
nano -w /sbin/pppd
!#/bin/sh
/sbin/pppd.bin 230400 /tmp/pppd.conf #<-- not sure here, if the arguements match, as I can't check right now
Ctrl+o Enter to save / Ctrl+x to exit nano
6) Reboot you MiSTer or restart pppd vie menu
7) Adjust baudrate on the amiga side (TCP/IP stack config)

taskset 1 pppd $conn_speed file /tmp/ppp_options

[ -f /tmp/CORENAME ] && core_name=$(cat /tmp/CORENAME)
if [ "$core_name" == "Minimig" ]; then
    conn_speed=230400
    echo $core_name $conn_speed
fi
taskset 1 pppd $conn_speed file /tmp/ppp_options

Do you mean /media/fat/linux/ppp_options?

I did not change it in ppp_options because that is global and will also effect Atari ST and ao486 cores which max out at 19200 and 115200 BPS respectively.

mbo77 wrote: ↑Thu Jul 02, 2020 8:30 pm Because it's hard coded and settings in the file are ignored.

kolla wrote: ↑Fri Jul 03, 2020 8:39 am Fair enough, I only use the Mimimig core for PPP. I guess it would make sense to have one ppp_options file per core.

I do have a question about the way the Amiga OS works, I installed MiamiDX I can connect online but for some reason I need to always show all files and the whole app suite has spanner/wrench icons and I can't see it without having to enable to see all files, which is a little annoying, is there a fix round this? Thanks.
