Hi All.  It has been a long time since I have been on the forum.  I really like the spec on the Plus 2 but, for now I am using my dusty old Plus 1.

 

I have recently migrated to a new laptop running windows 8.1.  I have installed VS2012.  For the last few days I have been trying to breathe life back into my Plus 1 and have gotten a lot accomplished EXCEPT I can't ping it (Ethernet not MFDeploy).

 

I have installed the .NET Microframework V4.3 and Secret Labs Netduino SDK V4.3.

 

I was able to change my IP Address (192.168.1.100) and my default gateway (192.168.0.1) but, I am unable to ping the device.  The two green and one amber leds on the Netduino are flashing like it is seeing network traffic.

 

Any ideas why I can't ping it?

 

Thank you!

Terry

Unless it's a typo or you have some customized network your gateway should probably be 192.168.1.1

I went ahead and changed it to 192.168.1.1 and had the same issue.

 

I ran ipconfig on my laptop and it showed the default gateway as 192.168.0.1 -- no custom setup.

What does it show for your laptop's IP address?

Ahh ok then the IP you gave the netdunio is wrong and should be 192.168.0.100

Whoo hoo -- Thanks for that!  It worked when I plugged it into my router.

 

If I plug directly to the PC do a I need a crossover cable?

 

Thanks!!

Ahh ok didn't realize you had plugged it directly into the PC.  Yes I believe if you want to connect it directly to your PC you would need a cross over cable.

This is a bit off topic but, do you happen to know if I can make this wireless?  I was thinking of buying a small wireless access point and connecting this to the netduino ethernet port.  If I did this, do you think I would be able to then "see" my netduino on my network wirelessly?

My guess is your current router is not a wireless router?

 

You could get a access point and plug the netdunio into it and then connect to it with your computer to the wireless point as long as your computer has a wireless network card.

 

You could also get a wireless ethernet board for the netdunio to make it's wireless too.

Thank you for all the help.

 

I do have a wireless router for my house.  My laptop is wirelessly (is that a word?) connected to it.  I would like to be able to communicate with my netduino without it being wired to either the main router or my laptop.  My thought was to get a small, cheap travel router and connect it to the netduino then that router would communicate with my main router...  does that make sense?

Yes I understand and what your attempting won't work.  Wireless Routers typically do not talk to each other.

 

There is this option http://forums.netdui...hernet-adapter/ which is like adding a wireless network card to your netdunio using it's ethernet port.

 

Which is basically a ethernet-wifi bridge

 

The other option is a wifi shield for your netdunio as found here http://forums.netdui...6-wifi-shields/
