<P>The Uthernet network cards coupled with the Contiki OS allow you to browse the

internet on your Apple.</P>

</P>
|
|
<P>Uthernet (TFE) support in AppleWin was made possible by implementing the GPL
|
|
source written by Spiro Trikaliotis for the Vice emulator - <A href="http://vice-emu.sourceforge.net/index.html#developers">
|
|

<P><A href="https://a2retrosystems.com/">Uthernet II</A> support in AppleWin has been contributed by Andrea (audetto) Odetti.</P>
|
|
<P style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold">Details:
|
|
</P>
|
|
<P>To enable ethernet support in AppleWin you must first download and install
|
|
Npcap (or WinPcap).
|
|
</P>
|
|
<P>An alternative to downloading Npcap is to get the Wireshark package which
|
|
includes Npcap along with Wireshark network analyzer code. To use Wireshark to
|
|
capture traffic (other than your own) you must be plugged into a shared hub vs
|
|
a switch. If you plan on doing any network programming Wireshark is a definite
|
|
must have.
|
|
</P>
|
|
<P>Npcap: <A href="https://nmap.org/npcap/#download">https://nmap.org/npcap/#download</A>
|
|
or Wireshark: <A href="https://www.wireshark.org">https://www.wireshark.org</A>
|
|
(or WinPcap: <A href="https://www.winpcap.org/install/default.htm">https://www.winpcap.org/install/default.htm</A>)
|
|
</P>
|
|
<P>After AppleWin starts, select the settings icon and then select the ethernet
|
|
settings button.
|
|
</P>
|
|
<P>Uthernet will be disabled. Select Uthernet or Uthernet II from the list of available ethernet
|
|
emulations.
|
|
</P>
|
|
<P>Select the ethernet interface you want to work with. This must be a physical
|
|
ethernet interface.
|
|
</P>
|
|
<P>If you have more than one interface you may need to select them in turn in order
|
|
to get the text description for each interface vs what Npcap likes to use for
|
|
a reference.
|
|
</P>
|
|
<P><span style="font-weight: bold;">Note:</span> Wireless does not work
|
|
with WinPcap (but see <A href="uthernet-wifi-workaround.html">WiFi Workaround</A>).
|
|
</P>
|
|
<P>In order to test the ethernet emulation out you should grab a copy of Contiki
|
|
for the Apple II here - <A href="http://www.a2retrosystems.com/downloads.htm">http://www.a2retrosystems.com/downloads.htm</A>
|
|
</P>
|
|
<P>Grab the 80 Col. Primary Disk and Supplementary Disk images if using Apple //e
|
|
emulation or the 40 Col versions if running Apple II+ emulation. You should
|
|
also grab a copy of the Uthernet/Contiki getting started guide <A href="http://www.a2retrosystems.com/a2UtherManual.pdf">
|
|
http://www.a2retrosystems.com/a2UtherManual.pdf</A>
|
|
</P>
|
|
<P>Select the contiki80pri.dsk image. Boot AppleWin.
|
|
</P>
|
|
<P>Once Contiki is loaded then press Enter to clear the welcome screen and press
|
|
ESC for a menu.
|
|
</P>
|
|
<P>Choose Directory Application and then select configuration edit program. Tab
|
|
down to the Slot param and change it to '3'. The emulation only works in slot
|
|
3.
|
|
</P>
|
|
<P>If you do not have DHCP support in your local Lan then setup your static IP
|
|
address information here as well. Save and exit. If you have DHCP support in
|
|
your local lan then press ESC and choose Directory Application again, and then
|
|
select DHCP client.
|
|
</P>
|
|
<P>Hit enter on request Address and you should see the IP information updated.
|
|
Close the window and then press ESC again.
|
|
</P>
|
|
<P>Select the web browser and hit Enter a couple of times. Adam Dunkels web site
|
|
should show up if things are working properly.
|
|
</P>
|
|
<P>Try a few other web sites if the first one isn't working in case it is
|
|
temporarily down.
|
|
</P>
|
|
<P>You may also need to configure/disable your firewall if you are having problems.
|
|
</P>
|
|
<P style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold">Troubleshooting:
|
|
</P>
|
|
<P>If you have ZoneAlarm running then try disabling it inorder to access the web.
|
|
if you are still having difficulty then you should refer to the VICE network
|
|
support page for additional information - <A href="http://vicekb.trikaliotis.net/13-005.shtml">

|
|
<P style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold">Uthernet II:
|
|
</P>
|
|
<P>Most features of the Uthernet II are emulated, with the following caveats:
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>PPPoE, interrupts and SPI are not implemented</li>
|
|
<li>server side is not well tested</li>
|
|
<li>after loading a save-state file, TCP and UDP sockets are closed</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
</P>
|
|
<P>The card implements a <A href="https://github.com/a2retrosystems/uthernet2/wiki/Virtual-W5100-with-DNS">Virtual DNS</A>
|
|
interface (not found on real hardware) for Apple II software to run without raw sockets: this allows operation on any type of network.
|
|
</P>
|
|
<P>Note that the Apple II application must be virtual W5100-aware (currently as of early 2024 the only application that supports this is <A href="https://github.com/oliverschmidt/A2Stream">A2Stream</A>). AppleWin will utilise DNS offloading when both AppleWin is configured to use "Virtual DNS" and the Apple II application enables the W5100 for the "Virtual DNS" mode.
|
|
</P>
|
|
<P>Enabling AppleWin for "Virtual DNS" and using with Apple II applications that don't support this is harmless (but you won't get any benefit).
|
|
</P>
|
|
<P>AppleWin's W5100 emulation returns the following depending on whether AppleWin's "Virtual DNS" is checked or not:
|
|
<li>Checked (default): W5100 register 0x28 returns 0x00 (so Apple II applications can use this to detect the virtual W5100 has virtual DNS support).</li>
|
|
<li>Unchecked: W5100 register 0x28 returns 0x28 (ie. the emulated W5100 behaves like a real W5100).</li>
