why will MAX not recognize cFP-2120?

[goortman]

The status light on mycontroller was flashing 4 times. Following advice from other posts I assumed the flash was probably corrupted. I was able to format it by going to Safe Mode and right clicking on my controller in MAX and selecting format hard disk. After the controller rebooted, reset my network configuration and name of the controller and hit Apply (controller rebooted again to apply these settings). After the controller rebooted (still in Safe-Mode), I tried to add software to the controller (with MAX), but operation kept timing out. Was getting two flashes on status LEDs. Tried getting out of safe mode but kept getting two flashes. Got back in safe mode but kept loosing connection. Then I manually reset the cFP-2120 by flipping the dipswitch (switch 7 to “OFF” and switch 8 to “ON”) on the front of the controller and rebooting the cFP-2120.  Flipped the dipswitch (switch 8 to “OFF”) on the front of the controller and rebooted the cFP-2120.  After the controller rebooted, I was unable to reset my network configuration for the devices listed and I did not get and indication that 0.0.0.0 was connected even though my PC is saying I am connected. Now the LED is flashing only 1 time but I cannot get to the IP config info to change it and MAX is showing the cFP-2120 as disconnected. If I go into Safe Mode using switch 7 I still only get one flash on the status LED. At least the LED isn't staying lit!

What do I do now?

Where exactly are you right now?  Does the status LED flash once when the IP reset switch is on and twice if it is off?  Or is it only flashing once now? 

If its just flashing once now, we may want to stop looking at the FieldPoint and start looking at the host computer.  Is there a firewall or virus scan that might be blocking IP 0.0.0.0 or blocking the UDP port?
