Re: CP4, Ethernet, MiniPC won't connect
|
If you have a point-to-point Ethernet connection between the Mini-PC
and the CP4 without any intervening routers, switches or hubs then I would be
tempted to set static IP configurations on each device. Also make sure
that the IP network configured for that two-node setup is on a unique subnet
that does not overlap with any of your other connected IP networks.
Otherwise your Mini-PC would be confused as to which network port to use to get
to a particular IP address.
Also make sure to use a crossover Ethernet cable.
Some
devices have auto-switching Ethernet ports but others do not. It could be
that Neither the CP4 or the Mini-PC have an auto-switching port. I am
pretty-sure that the CP4 does not have an auto-switching Ethernet
port.
Also lock the MINI-PC's Ethernet mode to 100 full or half
duplex. It is possible that the two devices are not able to auto-negotiate
Ethernet mode with each other when they are both normally expecting that they
are talking with an Ethernet switch or hub port and not directly with another
network node device.
Let me know if this helps.

Connectify. This is what I use to remote in to the miniPC.
The CP4 Ethernet is set to "Server".
In the windows "Network and Sharing Center" there are 3 connections listed,
(Wifi on home network, another wireless connection for Connectify, and
Ethernet). The Ethernet connection is listed as "Unidentified Network
(public)."
I wouldn't think that any of the above would matter since the CP4 is
directly connected to the MiniPC via Ethernet. Probably the next test I
should do is hook up a monitor and disable all the wireless networks and just
have the Ethernet connection present. But as far as I can tell all the
settings are the same across my computers (desktop, laptop, miniPC).
