IPSetup fails to find MOD54415 Board

[cfavreau]

Ok solved the problem.

So it was not McAfee Total Internet Protection software. It was not Windows Firewall.

It was a Microsoft Loopback interface I have that I use for an interface programmable MAC address. If I had that enabled then the broadcast packets from IPSetup and all netburner tools that use that same discovery method get sent over my wireless interface and the loopback interface and NOT the wired 100Mbit interface.... go figure.

I found it by using Wireshark to look on my wifi interface and observed the IPSetup packets. Then I looked at the Loopback interface and they were there too. Disabling wireless did not make them appear on the wired connection. Disabling the loopback did make them appear on the wired connection.

Thanks everyone for your help.

I found a post on a Microsoft forum that kind of explains it:

There appears to be a version problem with at least IPSetup. The IPSetup supplied with the NNDK version 2.6 on the CD that came with my MOD54415 does not work correctly on a Win 7 machine with 2 NICS (i.e. it does not see modules on one of the NICS). However, the IPSetup supplied by Forrest on a previous message does. But, both report a version of 2.1 although the files are substantially different in size. Building IPSetup from the source supplied with the NNDK results in an IPSetup with a version of 2.1 that does not work correctly. Looking at the code I would not expect that it would.
So somehow, there are multiple versions of IPSetup version 2.1 kicking around that are not the same and may or may not work correctly on Win 7 with multiple NICS.
This is probably true of the other tools (none of the autofind tools supplied on my CD work correctly on my Win 7 machine).

Hello, Forrest I was wondering if you might be able to email or private message me the source code for the version of IPSetup you posted on this thread (the pctools.zip) last year? I am currently running IPSetup on Windows 7 machines that have more than one NIC, and I found that the '2.1' versions of IPSetup that are supplied with NNDK versions 2.5.3 and 2.6.3 (2.6.3 being the latest currently available on the netburner site) both do not seem to find my MOD5282 device when running on such a PC, but the one you supplied in that zip file does. So I was interested in getting the source code for that version to have just in case I might want/need to try making some future modification to it myself.

Thanks,
