You can unban yourself if needed. It also sends me reports to investigate the ban.
DO NOT USE MOBILE / CGNAT DEVICES WHERE THE IP CHANGES CONSTANTLY!
At this time, it is unfortunately not possible to whitelist users when your IP changes constantly.
You may inadvertently get banned because a previous attack may have used the IP you are now on.
So I suggest people only use fixed IP address devices until I can think of a solution for this problem!

Lightning VME + (original) Apple USB Ethernet interface = Success!

Post by stephen_usher »

Just for everyone's reference, the Apple USB Ethernet adapter (MC704LL/A) works with the Lightning VME card and connects to the network, at least with the modified UIPtool supplied with the Lightning VME. I've not had a chance to test the STiNG and MiNT drivers.

Seeing as the Apple adapters are dead easy to find and are (I assume) guaranteed to have the same chipset they're probably the least risky purchase option on the 'Net.

Thats good to know stephen. Glad you got it working.

I have my adaptor running under MiNT and having the keyboard and mouse also working off of it is great.

I may get hold of one of these as then I can retire my NetUSBee from my TT to be used on another Atari.

FYI Stephen, this model doesn't seem to be available in europe... When searching on ebay MC704LL/A only shows up in USA. There are other models in EU but I do not know if they are the same.
