SmoothStepper USB / Re: Smoothstepper ESS new setup failing to connect
« on: August 15, 2015, 01:30:48 PM »
I figured it out. Standard copies of windows 7 and 8 apparently do not allow simultaneous connections to more than one IP address and my wireless internet and Ethernet port were essentially competing for that slot. As soon as I disabled the built in wireless internet, the Smooth stepper was able to communicate as advertised to the board. It was suggested to me that, for both to work, a solution to this problem is to install a Gigabit Ethernet card and get a gigabit router so that I can route both signals through the same line without having to worry about bandwidth conflict. A gigabit is well above the requirements of both combined. First I will try to get a USB wireless adapter for my PC it might not to conflict with the Ethernet topology...?
