Ok,

Just to be sure... Its in a text file that come with the Firmware...
The Firmware File Name: G100_DLP_3720_770402.bin
The Firmware "presumed" license file: G100Lic.dat "That I dont already have in this installation"

I was thinked that the g-100 disconnecting bug come from this point.... 

Thx,

Just to be sure...  I know that the Firmware (5420 or 5720) has a free trying license time of 1 hour.  Can I presume that my bug will be ok after buying the 50$ license or not! 
I say that because the only time that I'm able to connect to the G-100 and work my drives, its after clearing everything and restart from origin.  It work a little time, restart, work again and after that I loose it again and after loosing it, I cannot connect to it again...
Please, tell me, from your experiences, if its can be a licensing bug... Kind off...

I replaced my Rabbit RCM and now the world seems right.

Wes, it may seem like the GRex can be a load of trouble, but I think you would generally find most people happy with the outcome. Unfortunately it is when we are deep in despair and trouble that we seem to speek the loudest. Boards such as these help to find a fix and keep the relationship going strong. After getting past this 'failure to communicate' problem, I've already committed to another GRex, and will likely again. Of course my enthusiasm lies strongly with the continued efforts and development at both Mach and Gecko. You would have difficulty to find two companies that are as dedicated and as friendly in supporting there users.

Mach3 and G-Rex / Re: Communication Lost / Error 777

I was getting this message reliably along with difficulty initializing once this occurred. Got a new Rabbit and problem was solved. I still have the old Rabbit and it reliably and predictably continues to fail. Gecko has indicated a very small percentage of the Rabbit mini-computers demonstrate networking/ communication trouble.

Also see 'G100 crashing' thread for related symptoms and additional info.

I contacted Gecko Drive to get their recommendations. They have seen approximately 5% of the Rabbit Semiconductors module RCM3720 with networking trouble. I'm going to order a new one and I'll post my results.

My experience strongly links this behavior to a hardware issue, my gRex really doesn't like temperatures above 92 F. If ambient air is slightly below 90 F, I will likely lose communication once the gRex warms up, if ambient is above 92 F, then communication is never established. It does the infinite loop of initializing, reboot, reconnect...etc., Below 90 F and all is well, can run and run, stop and restart, no problems.

Luckily the weather finally cooled down here a bit to get some run time and not have to wait til the wee morning hours.  I'm located just a few miles from Xarach which isn't too far from Davis CA where the Rabbit leaves the hat.

ChaoticOne,

Could you post or reply with some light on this problem.

I'm having identical trouble with my G-Rex and had posted on CNCzone with no updates.

My sentiment, similar to moreil, is also nearing the end of what I thought was a great buy with the G-Rex, but it seems like a really bad relationship, suffering from poor communication.
