HS/FS Problem with the change IP address

[maxpi]

Hello.
This is my problem:
GiraHomeServer3, manufacture IP-address is 192.168.0.11, device successfully pinged, I updated the firmware and transfered the project (Expert2.6), the client (laptop with IP-address 192.168.0.12) connected successfully, everything is OK!
There is existing network at the site ... with subnet 192.168.1.x
I changed the IP address of HS to 192.168.1.211 in project and transfered to HS - successfully!
But now HS does not ping and Expert does not see it (on the laptop IP: 192.168.1.12)!!! What is more the ARP command shows MAC-address of the HS!
I tried to reboot, shut off power, waited a few minutes (as in Man written) - nothing it helps!

After hour of dancing, I transfered the project through a COM-port with factory address - everything is works normal again.

What should I do? Please help...

P.S. I set on the router (Asus) subnet mask - 255.255.0.0 while and HS is visible. But it is not correct decision.

do you still have the configuration for 192.168.0.12 in your Laptop ?

maybe the ping use that as your source Address.

pls show output from Laptop

ipconfig /all

[maxpi]

I am at office now and I am not able to connect to HS.
With 192.168.0.12 at the laptop - everything is OK.
When I changed IP at HS on 192.168.1.211, immediately I changed IP at the laptop on 192.168.1.12.

I think the problem with HS, as if the IP address changes incorrectly maybe...

Have you checked to see if after the upload of th e192.168.1.x project, the HS ist still pingable at its old address (192.168.0.12), of course with the laptop in thes same network ?

[maxpi]

Yes, i have checked it. It is NO ping!

After ping HS with new IP and after command: arp -a, i have got answer:
192.168.1.211 (it is new IP of HS) - <<MAC-adress of HS>> (it same as serial number of HS)

[Gaston]

At first glance i would expoect a missmatch in the network mask.

Could you post the output of "ipconfig /all" as well as a screenshot of the TCP/IP settings in the HS Expert.

[maxpi]

This is out of ipconfig /all

Ok,

the network mask for the HS ist badly set to 255.255.0.0 instead of 255.255.255.0 and should be fixed. This however cannot be the problem assuming the corretc source address ist used.

Could you try the following on your PC:

 
ping -S 192.168.1.12 192.168.1.211

[maxpi]

Thanks for answer!

I try it later, becouse I have no HS now.

Sorry, what does parameter "-S" mean?

The -S makes sure that ping uses the expected address (192.168.1.12) as source address when sending its data packets and not one of the VMware adapters.

In your configuration I would expect ping to take the VMware network address as default.

Cheers,
Gaston

ouch, just saw that you are using wireless ....?

What are the settings of you LAN Device that is disabled (cause of missing cable)

can you connect a cable to your LAN and run
"ipconfig /all"

again.

Ich hoffe, es ist ok, diesen Thread wieder auszugraben. Habe ein ähnliches Problem: Habe einen Homeserver 4, konnte diesen auch über die serielle Schnittstelle in Betrieb nehmen. Sobald ich versuche über IP zuzugreifen, wird er aber nicht gefunden. Der Homeserver ist über zwei Switches am Router angeschlossen, mein Rechner ebenfalls über einen Switch. Weder der Experte kann den HS4 finden, noch kann ich ihn über meinen Rechner anpingen.

IP-Adresse ist ja standardmäßig 192.168.0.11, damit geht es aber nicht. Ich habe sie nochmal in 192.168.2.11 umgeändert damit die ersten drei Zahlen mit dem Router übereinstimmen, aber auch das geht nicht.

[NilsS]

Moin,

wieiviel Switche dazwischen hängen ist dabei eigentlich erstmal egal, da switche auf Layer 2 sind und nur Ethernet Frames weiterleiten, die mit IP erstmal noch gar nichts zu tun haben.

Was meinst du mit

standardmäßig 192.168.0.11

?
Du hast doch schon ein Projekt über seriell übertragen. Was hast du da eingetragen?
Nimm doch einfach eine IP Adresse aus deinem jetzigen Subnetz.

Dein Router hat? 192.168.2.1 ? wie ist die IP deines Clients auf dem der Experte läuft. Kannst du den Homeserver mittels Ping erreichen (s.o.)

[kira]

Hi,
damit meinte ich, dass die IP ab Werk so eingestellt ist, es ging damit nicht. Mit der anderen IP ging es aber irgendwann plötzlich wie von Geisterhand.
