Have you looked in the documents tab at the top of this page and had a read of the G100 set up guide?

Hi Brett;
as I have stated previously , im  following the setup guide , and every thing gos ok , it finds the Rex, it allowed me to set up the gecko address, it finds the gecko again , but the download manager is not loading, I have ping the gecko and everything is ok, but the download manager is not loading.
What could be wrong?

I'm not sure, I haven't had a g100 hooked up since shortly after writeing the set up guide. Have you tried it with a different browser? Talked to Gecko drives or looked on their forum? If you can post a screen shot where you are at when the trouble begins it might help. This sounds like more of a problem with your networking or the G100 but what version of Mach are you running?

hi brett;
attached  is the error that im getting, I believe , and correct me if im wrong
but if I have  sucessfully ping the gecko and find it on the grex loader, it cant be a router
problem, or do you think that I should try a cross over cable? and bypass the router?

I'm no networking guru by any means. Most of the networking section in the manual was written by someone else. It looks to me like you have something mis-configured though.

Just in case others are looking for answers, the problem was probably the firewall needs to be turned off.  Typical firewall settings allows standart http connections but not the kind between Mach3 and the Grex.  So Firefox or IE see it but trouble happens later.
