In Amaya -> setting -> ethernet no ethernet card ..

I had a problem with version 7, and maybe prior as well. I had two network boards in the computer that ran the Amayas, one for the Router for the Amayas and the other for the shop network and internet. I struggle for a long time trying to get everything to work including working with some heavy duty techies. Eventually we just switched cables (and reconfigured the boards) so that the board we were trying to get to work with the Amayas now went to to the shop LAN and vice versa. That worked for me!

What version of the software? My guess is that you will need to upgrade as version 7 AOS didn't play well with Windows 7 x64 and the ethernet stack.

Just as an FYI, we are running into the same problem. Just built 2 win 7 machines and can't get Design shop vers. 7 to work right, and the answer?
Yep, upgrade! and the price I was quoted a week ago was, "We could knock off a couple hundred off of the $900+ list price..." which means for standard design shop, not "pro", and it comes with the amaya OS is going to run between $700 and $800.
I just can't justify it since I built the computer for $300 it's easier to add in the old one back into the network and run DS on the old XP system.
and spend my effort with getting Win 7 and XP to play nice together. I guess the price seems inline with software that cost $2000 to $5000 initially
but almost a grand for an upgrade, seems steep.
I am used to $150 upgrades... but I guess if they had a few hundred thousand users, the prices may come down. My bad for being in a specialty software market! [img]smile.gif[/img] Ron

You can buy copies of XP for $50-80 on the internet/ebay if you need to - and just do a clean install or dual boot if you want. There are solutions if upgrading and spending more money is not an option - but you have to get new hardware.

Have you contacted Melco? Can't remember which rev added 64 bit support.

Sorry to respond late but MAYBE I can help you. I hd a problem setting up my HP with the newest software. I was told (and it worked for me) that the HP "turns off" the eternet card when the item on the other end isn't on--and we know that's the wrong order for the Amaya. I bought an ethernet hub which is always "on" into which I plugged the machine and the computer and everything works great. You don't need a cross-over cable for this application, however.
