Ok good, you have an Ip of 192.168.0.48 so you are on the same subnet as the pixcon.  I will now have to hook mine up to 1) see if I can get mine to work or 2) see the same problem and hopefully tell you how to get around it.  Will be a bit.

Well of course mine comes right up and let's me configure it.  Im using 4.3.24 on my show computer.  Let me update it to the lastest version and see what I get.  Now, where mine is different is I use Wifi to connect to the internet and my home network but I use my ethernet jack on my laptop just for LOR.  I'm guessing your removing the cable from your computer and plugging a new cable from the pixcon straight into your computer's ethernet jack?

ok, lets now take a look at the card.  Mine is solid green light with a steadily blinking red light.  There are three jumpers just above the jacks that on top of each other and all three of those pegs are on the LOR side, not ESTA.

You seeing the same thing?

Yes, exactly the same!  I have a cable plugged directly into the ethernet jack on the computer.

On the controller the green light is steady and the red light is blinking.  The three jumpers are all on the LOR side.

If you have DHCP enabled, where is the 192.168.0.48 getting assigned.  The computer should be looking for a DHCP server, and if you are direct connected from the computer to the Pixcon, there is nothing to operate as a DHCP server (unless the Pixcon will - never played with one).

One other thing you can try from a command prompt.  Type Ping 102.168.0 50 and let us know if that fails or responds.

BTW, what OS are you running?

Running Windows 10.

PING: transmit failed. General failure.  (repeated four times)  I think you meant 192, not 102 at the first of the numbers, correct?

Your on the right track k6ccc.  What's happening is when you unplug the ethernet from your system, because your DHCP, your computer can't grab an IP so its defaulting to 169.254.142.79 (an IP range that gets assigned by default when a network card can't get an IP). 

 

You need to go into network setting and hard code the IP address of the computer.  Get it off DHCP.

1) there is a computer screen down by your clock.  Right mouse click that select "Open Network & Internet Settings"

2) In the Settings window, click on "Change adapter options" in the middle of the screen.

3)In the Network Connections window, right mouse click your ethernet and select Properties.

4) In the Ethernet Properties window, select "Internet Protocol Version 4(TCP/IPv4) and click properties.

5) Change the Radio button from "Obtain and IP address automatically" to "Use the following IP address".

IP address: 192.168.0.48

Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0

Default Gateway: 192.168.0.1

6) Change the radio button from "Obtain DNS server address automatically" to "Use the following DNS server addresses"

Preferred DNS : 192.168.0.1

Alt DNS : 205.171.2.25

7) Click Ok and close all windows.

 

Then try again.

Yes, I fat fingered it.  Should have been 192.168.0.50.
