i keep getting the error clientwakeup board not responding. how do i fix this problem?

That message is telling you the plug-in can't talk to the ESS. Most likely causes are that you don't have your PCs network adapter configured properly or your firewall is blocking the communication.

I just got your voicemail from yesterday. Does your PC have an internet connection as well? If so I can remote in so we can both see the screen. It is typically much easier to find the issue if we can talk and both see the screen at the same time.

thank you Jeff .i do have internet at my shop. i have now gotten past that one. the only thing i need now is to configure a pmdx126 board for an ethernet smooth stepper. i am having trouble configuring using my methods.aka trial and error.
