Wireless access / 2012-01-14 12:26:16

I don't have a wireless network card but an old spare PC with Windows 2000 so I set the Amiga and PC to use a PC under Windows 2000 as a wireless "bridge" for an Amiga 1200 to access the Internet through a wireless router. I use a "software router", NAT32, to build the bridge between the Amiga and the wireless network:

Hardware and software installation

To build the bridge, you need a PC under Windows 2000 (other flavors of Windows should work as well), with two network interfaces:

  1. A wireless network card, used to access some wireless router;
  2. A wired network card, used to connect the Amiga.

You need also, of course, an Amiga 1200 with one wired network interface, in my case a PCMCIA adaptor and that the Amiga and PC wired network cards are connected together.

On the PC under Windows 2000, I installed NAT32. I also installed VNC v3.3.3r2 (x86, win32, available upon request).


On the Amiga, I installed the libraries required by the wired network card as well as Miami v3.2. I also installed AmiVNC 1.0.0 for remote controlling the Amiga. I also installed IBrowse 2.4 for accessing the Internet.
