Did your Amiga worked when you connect it to the router??
My setup works just fine, my Amiga is connected to the router directly. Miami uses
the router as gateway.
I am using DHCP for my connection

This is the part, that is not working right for me. I can not communicate to my
Win98 machine.
I used to be able to do it, by using a hub and Internet Sharing.
Now with the router I have no access to the Win98 machine.
I use AmigaSamba with Miami 3.2b

I think Miami uses DHCP for this.
