Hi all. I am beyond my ability to figure out my problem. I have used an etherdongle for a couple of years. This year I cant get anything to blink.
I have an etherdongle connected through a switch as part of my home network. Output from the dongle goes to a smarthub and then ssc. I control my show with Light o Rama.
As I say, this all worked last year, network has not changed, router has not changed. The computer has changed, including now running windows 10.
I have checked voltage everywhere and reflashed both the dongle and the hub.
I even changed the Magjack after seeing it come up in a few posts.
The yellow light on the magjack blinks slowly when not playing a show, and is steady on when I do. The green light is on.
I downloaded wireshark but cant make heads or tails of it, opens to a capture using a filter page, and I don't know what filter to use. or if that is the page I want.
I downloaded ArtNetominator and get no response on the port that LOR is sending to or listening on.
When I select Multicast in LOR it assigns 239.255.0.1 through 6 for the 6 E1.31 universes I am using on port 5568 and is listening on 8837
My home network is on 192.168.1.ect so I don't understand how it can communicate with the 239 address, but perhaps that is what multicast is for.
Anyway, HELP. my neighbors are getting restless, I don't have a show up because I have been trying to make this work for two weeks.
Thanks in advance
Kevin
