I installed YAT and went through the various posted steps. I have the following settings at the moment:

Any help anyone might share would be greatly appreciated
I had used the Duet wifi successfully for years but moved the printer to a location where I can't connect to wifi directly, so I am trying to switch to the Duet ethernet.

I believe you’ll need to use a standard cable not a crossover,

Hope is of help

Auto negotiation SHOULD work and a crossover cable is not needed. Have you tried yet with a normal cable?
