New user comms error <set ip address >

Post by DavidCNC1964 »

Hello all,
I am trying to bench test my newly purchased acorn board. I am struggling to get the PC and Board to communicate correctly. The ping test results are confusing me. See photo.

I have checked and confirmed that the firewall etc are all switched off.
I have swapped the ethernet cable.

Any suggestions on what I could try next?

TIA David.

Hi, I have sorted this out now and normal comms have been established. During the initial set up I inadvertently assigned the static IP address to the wrong Ethernet adapter. I went on to assign the static IP (10.168.41.1) to the correct adapter without correcting my original error. Therefore, I introduced a clash. I changed the incorrect address to an alternative and the problem was sorted.
Happy days.
