Trouble with direct Ethernet connection
-
@droftarts I get a green flashing light when I first plug in the Ethernet cable but then it stops. I’ll try to swing by my shop tomorrow, otherwise it might be Tuesday next week before I get back to it. Thank you for the help.
The Ethernet cable came with the machine but I’ve also tried a cross over cable for every option in case that was part of the issue but I get the same results. I can try another cable in case that’s the issue. -
@Honey_Badger357 You should use a straight-through cable, I think, at least that's what I use. Though most Ethernet ports auto negotiate nowadays, so unless the PC is quite old, using a crossover cable shouldn't be the problem.

@Honey_Badger357 That looks like the output of
netstat -a? It seems to be showing that your PC has it's IP address set to 192.168.2.2
What IP address is the Duet set to?Ian
-
@droftarts duet is set to 192.168.2.1
Actual is still 0.0.0.0 -
@Honey_Badger357 said in Trouble with direct Ethernet connection:
duet is set to 192.168.2.1
Actual is still 0.0.0.0Have you tried a different Ethernet cable? I think that means that it is not making a physical/electrical connection. Is the Ethernet port disabled on your PC? Check in the Device manager.

Ethernet hasn’t changed. When I search the IP on the web browser the green light on the duet port blinks but still says “took too long to respond”
This is with a new regular Ethernet cord.
-
Are you able to test the Duet and your PC using a wired network router rather than a direct connection?
-
@Phaedrux unfortunately no
-
What do you have in the WWW folder on your SD card?
-
@Phaedrux what is the recommended app for reading the card on a PC? I’ve seen not to use notes as it can corrupt the files.
-
I'm not sure what you mean, you should be able to view the files on the card as any other external drive like a USB flash drive.

@Honey_Badger357 The directory structure of your www folder looks like an older version of DWC. Looking back, I don't know what firmware version you are using on the Duet, which may have a bearing on why you can't connect. Can you connect via USB and send
M115and post the response?Also, as you have the SD card in your computer, can you post the sys/config.g file? Either upload the file in your reply, or open it with TextEdit and copy and paste the text into your reply.

@Honey_Badger357 you’re certainly running an older version of the firmware. Follow this guide to connect via USB: https://docs.duet3d.com/en/How_to_guides/Getting_connected/Getting_connected_to_your_Duet

@droftarts instructions are unclear which files are required to be downloaded and where they need to be located on the PC. Attached is a picture of the files the link brought me to down load but neither file started to download a driver. Also, in device manager no devices have a yellow triangle and the “generic USB” didn’t have a driver to download
-
@Honey_Badger357 What version of Windows are you using? What part of the instructions isn't working for you?
- ... open Device Manager by pressing Windows Key + R and type devmgmt.msc, or launch from the Start menu by typing "Device Manager". On Windows 10, you can right-click on the Start icon and click on "Device Manager".
- Look for ... any "Generic USB" devices, which would indicate that the Duet driver is not installed.
- If a USB device does show ... as a Generic USB device, right click on the device. Click Install Driver and browse to the location of the driver that was downloaded at the beginning of this step. Continue setup by clicking "Next" until the device driver has been installed.
