First Build 5 x 12 Steel Frame CNC router

Strange because Usually very straight forward provided you set Network adapter manually it works.

So have you set internet protocol version4 (TCP/IPv4) address manually.?

Yeah 10.1.1.1 was entered manually into my computer. I pinged 10.1.1.2 when reaching the IP/A.

Couple other things I tried, I made 2 new rules for the CSMIO firmware software and Mach3 still no luck.

What I am assuming at the moment, I am using my work laptop as that is the only computer I currently have, I bet it is something with my IT policy on the machine that is blocking it (other than windows firewall). So time to pull my old desktop out of the rafters and get it back up and running...

Still on the search for a good enclosure for the electrical components. Anyone ever put the spindle motor vfd on the gantry rather than run long VFD motor cable to the spindle? I was thinking about do this to keep the 3 phase cabling (higher current to the spindle at least) as short as possible. I think some of the big CNC players do it this way where they have a control cabinet on the backside of the gantry. Thoughts on this?

Thanks
Scott
