EDIT: I just read you already made it, well, then my post won't be of any interest for you anymore.. i'll still leave it here just in case someone else has similiar problems.

I tried my router too and here it is a different pb : I can ping any site (IP and name), the route is displaying, I can adjust the time through pool.sntp.org BUT I cant surf the net with internet browsers ! It was the same under upd4 BTW ... My A1 is online but there is something that prevents me from browsing (and I am using the default settings)
Is your A1 directly connected to an ADSL "modem" or to an ADSL router with integrated "modem"?
In any case this smells like being just an MTU/MSS related problem. If you can, get the correct default MTU and/or MSS Settings from your provider and set your settings accordingly.
For Ethernet connections (i.e. your A1 is behind a router with local IP address) the MTU should be 1500 and the MSS 1460.
But for direct connections through an ADSL "modem" this values might be different. E.g. for British Telecom the recommended MTU is somewhat around 1458, but 1430 has been proven to be the better value. The MSS should always be MTU - 40 bytes. E.g. if your MTU is 1500, MSS should be 1460.. if MTU = 1430, MSS should be 1390.
The MTU is controlled in your interface file in Devs:NetWorks. Open it with an texteditor and add a line like:
mtu=1492
The mss is controlled by the tcp.mssdflt setting of roadshow, you can either change it during network runtime with RoadshowControl or via an env variable, e.g. create the file ENVARC:Roadshow/tcp/mssdflt with the MSS as content (e.g. 1460, if 1500 is your MTU) and restart the network or reboot.

1.It seems that "ClickToFront" commodity doesnt work still. :( it just ignores "NUMOFCLICKS or similar tooltype (not at my A1 atm.)" I have setted it to 3 but it brings up on second click..
2. Mui screens, I'm unable to create a MUI custom screen with WB colors and GUI. example: I want to run IB on it's own screen but when i open that up, it just look absolutely terrifying. What happended to it? Or do i lack of knowledge?

GLQuake and XMoto are very slow under OS4 final. Both seem to get gradually slower until finally locking up completely. Anyone else have similar problems?
I copied over the AmigaInput libs and prefs files from my update #4 backup so I can use my Competition Pro USB with E-UAE. Also GLQuake won't run if it can't find amigainput.library.

I never got the screens MUI opens itself working in an usable way, but that's not limited to AmigaOS4, it didn't work for me on AmigaOS 3.x either.
On AmigaOS4 you can use Prefs/Screens instead to create public screens, for example for IBrowse: - Start Prefs/Screens - "Add" a new screen - Change the Name and Title to "IBrowse" - Make sure "Open/Close automatically" is enabled - Change "Apply" for the "Screen Mode" and "Font" to "Never" (or select the screen mode and font you want to use if you want something different to what you use on the Workbench) - In the "GUI" tab change "Settings" to "Like Workbench" ("Use GUI pens" = "As default", "Ignore application's GUI attrs" disabled) - In the "Palette" tab change "Settings" to "Like Workbench" ("Use defined colours" = "As default", "Don't lock defined colors" disabled) - "Save" the settings. - Start IBrowse, use menu Settings/Screenmode... (or something similar, I don't know how it's called in the english catalog), enable "foreign public screen named", enter "IBrowse" in the string gadget and use "Save". - Iconify and deiconify the IBrowse window (or quit and restart IBrowse) and you should get a usable screen which looks exactely like your Workbench screen.
It should be possible to get the screens MUI creates itself working correctly as well with Prefs/Screens, by starting it when they are open, using "Insert open screen..." and fix their settings, or even by changing the "<<Default>>" settings (but since that changes all screens it could break other software), but I didn't try that yet.
1. Restart delay NOT working (since upd 4 now) One can enter whatever value, it doesn?t have any effect, the neat reboot delay seems to be gone for good?
2. Screen title format The mem values. It?s not possible to display CHIP / FAST or VIRTUAL anymore, all of the formats display the same value, e.g. using "%mm MB (%mfm MB Fast | %mcm MB Chip | %mvm MB Virtual)" gives me "631 MB (631 MB Fast | 631 MB Chip | 631 MB Virtual)" which can?t be. This one worked under pre4...
edit: @2:
OK, i just figured that i have to add "ADDCHIPRAM=2" to setpatch to get the chipram back, which i understand is only for some old programs (like PPaint, hehe ) to not complain anymore...but still, what happened to the VIRTUAL (what happened to Virtual HD mem anyway)?

Works here. But it seems there are a lot of people expecting it to do something completely different to what it actually does, it's the time you have to enter the 2nd, 3rd, ... char(s) to select a file if there are several starting with the same char, for example on your Workbech partition it's the time you have to press 't' to select "Storage" or 'y' to select "System" after pressing 's'.

It's correct, it just doesn't make sense letting it display the same thing 4 times There is no "fast" memory anymore in the final version of AmigaOS4 (asking for it returns the virtual memory size), that was still there in Update4 as special memory with virtual = physical address, and there never was "chip" memory on the AmigaOne (asking for it returns the virtual memory size, on Update4 it returned the fast memory size instead, but that's the same now anyway).

Boing, yes, i mixed it with REBOOT delay (oops), thanks for pointing that out sooooo.... what happened to the reboot delay, then?
PS: I can confirm the Snoopdos bug, it doesn?t show anything anymore and Grims when trying to open the "Function" window
Some personal experiences with apps mentioned here:
@lazi:
I have no problem with YAM 2.4. I simply copied in the three classes from an old installation and it worked.
The three classes (six files) you must install are:
TextEditor.mcc/mcp Vers 15.19 [OS4/PPC] (12/11/2006) BetterString.mcc/mcp Vers 11.7 [OS4/PPC] ( 9/07/2005) ToolBar.mcc/mcp Vers 15.12 [OS4/PPC] ( 1/08/2005)
All six files have to go into Sys:MUI/Libs/mui/ (NOT into Sys:Libs/MUI/)
@Paul:
I think you'll find no problems with lpr.device and network printing (in fact, I have only installed it for the first time over the last week and now have Amiga access to all the printers in the house).
MakeCD works OK here, too. I used it to burn my Install CDs.
@syrtran:
No personal experience, but the failure of Final Writer has been discussed amongst other beta testers and the consensus is that there is no workaround that the OS can make to support FW's bugs.
OTOH, Digita's Wordworth7 runs a treat, I use it frequently and it is good to see the speed boost it now enjoys.
@Ricossa: Only one problem here with PicShow: sometimes when halfway through a drawer of pictures it will give an error message "Can't load xxx". It can't load the next one either and I have to exit and try again. However, no crashes, recovery is complete and it works next time.
@jape: The NUMCLICKS tooltype in ClickToFront only accepts values of 1 or 2.

Excellent tip. This worked well for me. Many thanks.
Quick note: the quote option on the Amigans website does not work peoperly with the new IBrowse2.4? If you highlight a section of text to copy and paste, using the Quote tab pastes the whole body of text not just the section you selected. This feature works fine on other sites.
Since OS4 final, the SDK seems to not find SDL anymore
Overwritten files ain?t possible due to the SDK residing on a complete other partition, just added my assigns again ...strange, anyone else (maybe a hint how to workaround this)?
my USB flash-card reader is no more recognized. I enabled it in UBOOT, where it gets recognized (it flashes and stays on), but when the Kickstart is loaded, it goes to sleep, all lights off, and I can no more access it.
USB inspector doesn't know it is attached. And yes, I tryed to give the commands ubsctrl start and restart, with no results at all.
AmigaOne G4 non fixed. I really need my card reader!
Should be OK then. No idea why it doesn't work for you.
With OS4 final when I use normal make (instead of gmake) to compile using gcc (like f.e. with my svg.datatype) I always get requesters asking for "/usr/local/bin:".
Never had this problem with update #4. If I cancel them it compiles OK. Very annoying though...
I installed os4 on a new drive and kept the old drive as slave. This means that I have two dh0: dh1: etc. The dh0: from the old drive is called dh0.1:
However if I open a file in notepad it does not matter which one of the partitions I select (dh0: or dh0.1:), it always ends up on the first drive named "System:".
Quite annoying.
Took me a while to figure out why the user startup on the fresh install looked exactly the same as on my old install.
I assume both your partitions are named System? If so rename one of them to OldSystem or similar and you will avoid these kinds of problems.
Haven't tried but something like this (from CLI) should work as well "run notepad dh0.1:s/startup-sequence".
I can see why it won't work with the ASL requester though, since the returned path will probably contain System: hence the problem. Typing the path manually into the asl requester might also work...
Still, these kinds of problems could be avoided if the ASL requester were to use the device name, which must be unique, rather than the usually more convenient volume name in cases like this where the volume name is not unique (two or more disks with same name).
