LAN trouble--Red X
I'm trying to install camera software on a friend's XP. Actually, the
camera is outside the house, and there's an intermediate box connected to the PC by an ethernet cable (crossover). The camera is plugged into the box. I'm pretty confident that we have the right TCP/IP addresses. If I got to Control Panel, I see two network icons: LAN and RealTek8139. He doesn't really have a LAN. I'm guessing the realtek port is the the ethernet port on the PC. With everything in place, one fires up the camera software, and presses the Connect button. It should turn green, but does nothing. No green button and no picture. Comments? Here are the instructions from the Sentinel (camera) arrangement for setting IP addresses. =========================== The Video Sentinel box contains a micro-controller (RCM3200 from Rabbit Semiconductor) with an Ethernet port that has been configured with a fixed IP address. By default, the IP address of the Video Sentinel box is 10.0.0.50. This address is set in the firmware of the micro-controller and should allow the Video Sentinel box to be used in a local network. If a different IP address is required, however, the firmware can be changed at Sandia. The Network Interface Card that you use to communicate with Video Sentinel box should be set with a compatible IP address. For example, I typically set the IP address of the NIC to 10.0.0.2 and set the Subnet Mask to 255.0.0.0. |
