Hey Everybody,
I'm having some trouble getting my Grex up and running. I'm almost certain it has to do with the way my network is set up. I have pasted a link here in hopes of drawing more attention.

Thanks in advance,

Hi Brett,
It appears that your settings are correct. I would guess that your firewall is blocking the communication.

Thanks Jeff. I think you are right. I downloaded firefox to see if it made a difference. It all does well until I get to page 8 of the dummies guide. Click run, this is what I get. Is this a firewall setting in the router you think?

Hi Brett,
I would guess that your settings in the router could be causing the problem. If an IP address is being looked for for a specific period of time and cannot be found your browser will time out. It's sort of like when you go to a web site and the page is temporarily down. You get a error that the page cannot be found.
See if there are settings in your router that allow you to specify certain IP addresses as trusted zones/sites. You want to be sure that you are NOT running more than one firewall. It creates great havoc if you do. ;D I have my firewall disabled on my router.

These are the only firewall settings I see in the router. Any suggestions?

Hi Brett,
Since I don't have the same type of router that you are using it's a little difficult for me to give any ideas/suggestions for the settings. I suggest shutting of the routers firewall if possible or setting it back to factory defaults. You could try having ALL your network connections active and rerunning the setup procedure for your router.

I have tried everything I know. I will hopefully get it straight soon. Thanks for the help.

Hey Brett,
Check this page out, it has a huge list of router and how to do port forwarding and allowing acess, it might help:

I left my G100 at it's original IP address and Subnet mask.
I run two NIC's one at 192.168.0.x and 255.255.255.0 subnet
The g100 is left as it was and it's NIC set to the same ip range and subnet mask.
I think having both on the 192.168 range is going to cause you issues, but then I'm no networking guru either.
Firewall is turned off for the G100 NIC only.

I would turn off the firewall in Windows (assuming you are using XP). And then I would try unpluging the router and any hubs for a few seconds. If you go to network places do you see other network locations (computers, drives) if so you may want to try and rerun the network wizard. You may want to shut down any anti-virus software while you test.
Those would be things I would try but you may have already do them. Just as an fyi I totally disabled the XP firewall it is nothing but trouble.

Thanks Guys, I think I have it sorted. I'm not certain yet but I will find out later today after an Air show. :) I will post all of my findings soon. I think it was the frimware I had loaded.
Does anyone know of a way to switch from one (Grex) profile to another (BOB) profile easily. I just got my Grex responding and seems to be loaded as it should be. I have a BOB profile that I was running on before and still will from time to time. Since I got the Grex loaded and responding, my BOB looks like a Christmas tree. ;D Even if I have to delete and reload plugins and such. It's more than obvious I need to practice getting a Grex set up. ;D
Mark and Hood, You are both right. LOL ;)
Wayne, what did you type in to get that screen full of info.? How are the cublocs working?

Copy over the XML ... you just need to reset the motion device and select the G100

From the command prompt I just typed IPCONFIG /ALL <enter>
The cublocs! Well not had much time recently. Been concentrating on the Hardinge in other areas. I'll get back to it.
