time, so I will look at two versions, and how to set these up with your
system. This disk image is quite old, but I prefer this, as it still looks like an operating system. Grab it here csdb.dk/release/?id=14635

The direct link is here csdb.dk/getin ternalfile.php/43087/Contiki-c64-1.2- devel1.d64.zip

Its Contiki, Version 1.2 Dev1

Download the file. Now you need to transfer the disk image to a real disk,
so use your favourite method to do this, then run the program with

LOAD "*",8,1

After a second or two the screen will load

I am only interested in the web browser, but once this is working the rest
of the applications should be self explanatory.

So we need to:

Press f1

A menu appears. Use the cursor keys to scroll down and from the list
select Configuration.

The Config Editor will then load

We aren't bothered about the top 2 options but we need to ensure Contiki
loads the correct Network driver for our system, for the RR net you need to type

rrnet.drv

Under the option Net Driver

Now we start to enter our network settings usually I would use

192.168.1.64

For our Commodore, in Contiki, and any network (remember each device must
have a unique number assigned to it) this makes the assumption there are
less than 64 devices currently connected on your network. I think this is
a fairly safe assumption for a home network.

For the netmask we would enter

255.255.255.0

Just as our ipconfig listing told us, the gateway or router address is

192.168.1.254

In our case the DNS server is our router

192.168.1.254

Now we are done, so we can save and close!

This version also has an easy configuration tool, and just like your PC can
set up all this information for you with just a click, it's called DHCP or Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol

To run it you would press F1 on the main menu then select Run program and
type

dhcp.dsc

But you still need to configure the network card to use the right driver
first! Otherwise the DHCP tool will fail!

You can now start the browser with f1 to display the menu.

Select run program and type

www.dsc

The other thing to note is that there are other drivers on the disk for
other network cards, so for things like THE Final Ethernet, you would load
it in the config program with tfe.drv. Listing the disk directory will
show what DRV or drivers there are - if you are using something else.

This is Contiki V2.5.

Download the program from here

Contiki.cbm8bit.com/

Now this is simplicity itself

Using the information we gained from IPCONFIG command we can fill out the information on the website...

IP address: 192 168 1 64
Subnet mask: 255 255 255 0
Default gateway: 192 168 1 254
DNS server: 192 168 1 254

Or whatever your IPCONFIG command showed as your network settings!

Select C64 from the list make sure you select the correct Network card for
your needs and complete image of disk 1

This configures the disk with our network settings and then downloads the
disk!

However, you will see that a listing of the disk only shows a very small
number of programs compared to the other version of Contiki OS.

* dhcp.prg
* webserver.prg
* webbrowser.prg
* wwget.prg
* irc.prg

You can run the DHCP.PRG to let this configure the network settings from
your router (should you need to) if nothing is working.

Now all that's left is to copy this to a real disk and load and run

WEBBROWSER.PRG

LOAD "webbrowser",8,1

Then run it

The website

Contiki.cbm8bit.com/

Also lets you download a second disk with the breadbox twitter client on
it, but you have already gone through the basics so you should be able to
use this without a problem. I do not tweet so I can't demo this for you.

Enjoy!

I hope this has helped some of the Commodore Free readers who have been
stuck with configuring Contiki.

VIC GAME REVIEWS
*************************************

Good grief! This seem to be a regular section in Commodore Free: new
games released for the VIC! Anyway, I am sure it will make some of the
readers happy! I have put the games all under one section but they all
receive a review, so this month we have 3 new games. Someone said to me
that this year is the year of the Commodore VIC, because of the quality
(and not to mention) the quantity of the releases. I can't argue with
that. I would also say that 2014 is the year of the VIC. We start with a superb title called Bertie the Ball.
