Can't find GPIB instrument with Linux Labview

Hello,

 

   I am trying to communicate with an Agilent 33250A Pulser via NI GPIB-ENET/100. When I use the GPIB explorer in Linux, I scan the local subnet for the device and it can not seem to find it. However, I can ping it and get a response.

 

   I also tried to just enter the IP in the GPIB explorer and then run  the NI-488.2 Troubleshooting Wizard. The first two stages pass but the "GPIB Interfaces Sequentially" test does not. Below is a copy of the NI I/O Trace capture:

I have already been successful with this task in Windows Labview and can see the ENET and Instrument fine with MAX in Windows.

 

Any help would be great!
