Out of Retro Replay?
After 15 years on the same hardware, i decided to buy myself a RetroReplay + RR-net. Mainly to transfer alot of disks that i found on the attic while we moved to our new flat :). Now i can not find a place to buy one! gurumeditation.se is out of stock, and ar.c64.org seems to be dead since ages. WHERE!?!?!? Please help me! |

I think you should use a router (or similar netwrork device) with lan ethernet ports (typically your dsl/cable router) to help communicate the pc and c64. I don't know if direct connection is possible to your lan card, never tried it.
Then your router's configurations decide what will be your lan area (the x in 192.168.x.64 , or your pc ip).

Is it true!? That's not very party-friendly. I mean, it's perhaps ok to bring a laptop and a cable to a party, but a f**kn router and stuff? |

You need either a hub/switch/router, or more usefully, a crossover network cable instead of a normal one. Of course, some modern netwrokc cards (including most laptops) can "auto-crossover", but many can't too, i guess. |

I got my RR-Net last monday and this is how I made it work:
Onboard ethernet (100 mbit) -> DSL: (192.168.0.1)
Network adapter (1 gbit, of course the C64 has to have maximum bandwidth!) -> C64 via crossed patchcable
IP of Gigabit Lan card: 192.168.1.1
IP of C64: 192.168.1.64
Flashed The Final Replay 0.2, I enter codenet, check for the correct IP, then hit the Send Server button in Warpcopy 0.4. Works fine. No other experiences with codenet, sorry. |

If anybody is in need of a network hub give me a mail
Still got 37x 8 port hub bay systems and 3x 24 port hub mixed brands.

Will you have a hub there as well? Otherwise I'll need to get myself a cross-cable first .. |

Seems like the cross-cable just woun't do, at least not without extra gear like hubs or routers :(. Maybe all the bright brains at PS can find out a way to make it work this weekend, in that case please post the solution :). I also called my super-guru-boy. He's currently dressing up in a phone-box on some near-by planet, so he'll be here in any mili-second. |

Naah, basically just want to make sure that I can connect my rr-net to my laptop .. so even a 2 port hub (if they exist) would be enough ;) |

HCL, as I said, a crossed cable is enough, you don't need a hub or any extra gear. Just separate the IP adresses of your 2 network cards in the PC (the DSL one gets like 192.168.0.1, the one connected to the C64 gets 192.168.1.1). Then assign 192.168.1.64 to the C64 and it should work fine.
At least this is how it worked for me, and I can be considered a networking idiot as well. ;-) |
