Well, we are really getting down to the nitty gritty. I wish someone would get it so I don't have to go through the 400 post. Read the hints.

General Mach Discussion / Re: Any networking gurus here?

« on: May 26, 2007, 02:39:54 PM »

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?

General Mach Discussion / Any networking gurus here?

« on: May 26, 2007, 12:03:22 PM »

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,

Mach3 and G-Rex / Networking Woes........

« on: May 26, 2007, 11:53:17 AM »

Hey everybody,
    I have been trying to hook up my G100 this weekend. I have added a second NIC card to my control pc for my G100. I don't have something right. I'm no networking guru by any means and have been stumped by this problem.  I have attached some screen shots to see if anyone could help. I did manage to get the firmware loaded following the dummies guide but I still got the same message when I opened Mach even with it on the same connection (straight from router) I loaded the firmware with.

Thanks in advance.
Brett

Any of your guesses should be entered as one of the three following formats. X,*********,********* or X.*********.********* or ******************X . With nothing else attached, ( with a space before and after the number ).

Hint 6
Two post come to mind. They are so close yet so far away.

Mach SDK plugin questions and answers. / Re: Changing Ports and Pins during a job

« on: May 26, 2007, 09:19:40 AM »

I don't know how you could do this in Mach as any pin changes would create a reconfig estop. You could do it as Graham said with a relay or a dpdt switch. The normally open contacts would go to one of the axis step and direction and the normally closed would go to the other axis step and direction. The only problem with it is that Mach will not know whic axis it is driving or it's position. Some of the vb code gurus might be able to get very creative with some code for this, I'm not sure. The code would turn on or off an output that would change the state of the relay and zero the shared dro maybe. This would be a nightmare to generate Gcode for as well I would think. I think all things are possible tough. I'd like to see a drawing or pic of the machine it would be for and a description of what it will do.

Thinking out loud

Mach3 and G-Rex / Re: GREX and Direct Connect Via Second Net Card.. HELP!

« on: May 25, 2007, 06:04:52 PM »

No luck from me on installing a second network card either. I have attached a screen shot. I know very little about networking but would really like to get this sorted.

Edit
I also meant to say I tried it without the default gateway entered to.
