Hi.

It seems i am not alone to have problems with WHDLOAD and some automated relatred features which were working before but don't with current version 18.x and beta 19.

I'm trying to shutdown my TCP IP stack Miami 3.2 when lauching a game and to restart it when quitting.
I have been trying to use an arexx script called miamioffline and miamionline which i have copied under Miami:, under S, under REXX: just in case.
If i use it from a shell "rx Miami:Miamioffline.rexx" or "rx Miami:MiamiOnline.rexx", they work fine.
If i try to use them with WHDLOAD, either directly from WHDLOAD.prefs with EXECUTESTARTUP=rx Miami:Miamioffline.rexx or EXECUTECLEANUP=rx Miami:Miamionline.rexx or from the files WDHLOAD-startup or WHDLOAD-cleanup after pointing to them in WDHLOAD.prefs, i only get an arror message with "Return code=10 DOS Error=205).
But shutting or launching the USB stack via Executestartup or cleanup.

How come? Is there a problem to use rx from inside the WHDLOAD prefs files?
Until i find a solution, i need to go offline or online by byself, except on my A4000 whic uses an USB NIC, so this one just vanish with the USB stack and even if Miami seems to still be online he has no more NIC to generate an nterrupt and it works as is.

Thanks for your help.
 
Yes, seems that guys screwed up something in the latest release...

The solution is:
Open WHDLoad Prefs, there is the entry "NoNetwork". Comment this one out and you're done. Then it works.

And if you add the line "consolename=NIL:" at the end of the AMITCP.config you will no longer get a pop-up with the messages about online or offline.
 
Hi.
Thanks for your answer but it still don't work.
I believe NoNetwork makes that WHDLOAD doesn't check anymore for slave updates, but i still have my error about my rx command as above. I don't understand why because AREXX seems to be used by everyone to shut the TCP/IP stack off. It works from a CLI, but not within WHDLOAD script.
