My cRIO9082 cannot be connected, and its status in the NI MAX shows 'inconsistent IP settings'

[RongZou]

Just as the title, my 9082 can work well yesterday, and I didn't change any settings, but this morning, it can't work any more.

I can not connect it through Lab view, so I tried to restart the computer, the D-link, and the 9082, it seems not make any difference. And the status shown in NI MAX is 'inconsistent IP settings'. However, I tried to change the network setting in NI MAX to static as well, it seems no make any difference.

I don't know what to do next.

If you go to Help > About in NI MAX, what version of the software are you running? This problem comes up somewhat frequently using NI MAX 16.0.0 and was fixed in a 16.0.1 patch so I would make sure that isn't your problem.

[RongZou]

It's 15.0.0 version.

Are your PC and RIO on the same subnet? 

What are the IP addresses of the two when you see the problem. 

[RongZou]

It's 10.0.180.105, they are in the same subnet.

And at this moment, my CompatRIO can connect with my computer directly, but cannot connet with my computer through D-link.

I can confirm I didn't change any settings at last Friday.

So when you have connected the RIO and the PC to your D-Link, what is both the RIO and the PC's IP? 

What are the Sub-net set to? 

[RongZou]

I didn't check my PC's IP, does that matter? Since I can connect my CompactRIO though another PC  before, as long as they were in the same network.

I checked the IP address of CompactRIO though NI MAX before, and it didn't change, 10.0.180.105, whether they can connect each other though D-link or not.

But, now if I connect the CompactRIO with my PC directly, the IP becomes to 169.254.11.123.

[dkfire]

The IP address of the PC is very important in this case. 

The PC and the RIO's IP has to be in the same range. 

If your PC is set to 192.168.1.1 and the RIO is 10.0.180.105 then you will get the message you see. 

So before we can continue, we need to know the IP address of both PC and RIO when is it NOT working. 

And if you have a working PC, what is the network setting in that PC?

[RongZou]

At this moment, my working PC's address is:
IPv4 : 143.167.235.134

[dkfire]

And that Pc can connect to a RIO with what IP address ? 

And MAX is not showing "inconsistent IP settings" ?
