We have a GPIB-ENET box and are trying to interface with it on WinXP. I've downloaded and installed the latest drivers (2.2) but when I setup the device in MAX it sees three but only successfully identifies 1 of them (the first one). I even set it up as a GPIB-ENET/100 device and got the same results. I thought that maybe the driver was incorrect so I came back and checked and found this note for the GPIB-ENET interface:
Note 4: The IP Assign Utility for the GPIB-ENET must be performed on Windows 98/Me or Windows 2000. After the IP address is successfully assigned, the GPIB-ENET can be accessed on Windows XP.
How can I assign the IP address in another system when XP is all that is on the comp? Am I reading this wrong or does this basically say you have to setup and install the device then upgrade you computer to XP to get it working in XP. Obviously this creates some problems. One other thing, I've setup the IPAssign Protocol on my network settings but when I try to run the application I get a message telling me I need to setup the IPAssign protocol and instructions on how to do it.
