    I have 3.1.4.1 installed and I'm using a 3.1.4 rom which I uploaded to the aca500plus. When I install the network stack instead of displaying a workbench, it redirects back to the a500plus startup screen.

    If you have bought your card very early (before the X-Surf-500 was released), it may be possible that the network install disk is not in the flash of the ACA500plus yet. You can find the install disk in form of another update file for the ACA500plus in the Wiki (the "networ installer update").

    I just bought it. But i did install the network update too. Maybe that was unnecessary? I have another CF card with 3.1, I will try to boot from that one, using the default 3.1 ROM, while running network install. If I see the disk then I have some options.

    Got it to work using my other 3.1 CF card. I think it returned to the start screen because it loaded the default 3.1 ROM from the ACA500plus but I booted 3.1.4.1. I kept the other CF card to remain compatible with the defaults on the ACA500plus so I could do ACA500plus related administration tasks. When booting from that CF card I got the workbench and the install disk. I used TransADF to transfer it to an ADF image to my hot swap CF card. After that I booted into 3.1.4.1 and mounted the image using ImageMount (I believe that one is part of the BestWB package). My Amiga is online now.


    I'm going to buy an IBrowse license now so I have a nice and up to date browsing experience.


    I totally love the ACA500Plus BTW!

    Why so complicated? You can just choose to mount the image in the menu, but boot from CF. That would have saved you the hassle of using external software. Anyway, good to see that you resolved it.

    Most of the people here know that already. However, since we do not advertise, you'd help a lot if you tell your friends who don't have an ACA500plus yet :-)

    ow.. there is a mount option? Oh well, I guess that's just me getting to know the system. :)


    Just wanted to share my enthusiasm a bit.


    No advertising needed BTW. I found out about it searching on duckduckgo.com for memory expansions which didn't need any mods on the motherboard. And YouTube for the reviews. The shop does the rest...:thumbup:

    Which device are you booting from? To my knowledge, the installer does not use the Loadmodule command. Please post the startup-sequence of said boot device.

    This works fine normally, only an issue when I run the xsurf installer from the ACA500plus menu.


    Startup-sequence from OS3.2 causing the problem:

    I manged to get the installer from another setup and got it to work although the mount icomp does not work on OS3.2 which is a shame.

    I have installed os 3.2 too, the installation of the network software gave me no issues. But the icomp fileshare didnt work for me too. It just told me the network couldnt be started (vanilla OS 3.2, with only drivers/software for all the icomp stuff inside and outside, no extra's installed yet).

    Do you get this message too?


    What i did was to edit the file "Mount icomp" and remarkt from the "failat 20" till the "else"(first 5 rows) and then the last "EndIf"(last row) with a ;.

    Afcource this is not a best practice, because you dont get warnings, but i only mount when needed to get in install or update. And most important, it works.


    Another reasen could be that there is no internet connection, but you mention you got it to work exept for the fileshare. This can be checked easely with an ping to 1.1.1.1 from the CLI in case you have no browser installed


    Hope this helps, its realy a nice network card for the amiga.
