No response from YAT after sending command

sn't DHCP supposed to do all that and make it invisible to me?

Only if you're using a mDNS name to access the IP, like http://duet.local which I don't think works with the Duet Ethernet

Kayjay

@phaedrux OK, I think you're right there.

So, let me see if I have this right. I enable DHCP in config.g by creating a line that says

M552 P0.0.0.0

then I discover the IP either through my router or YAT, I the enter that IP into the browser address bar and it should stay the same all the time. Is that how DHCP works when done properly?

Yes, provided there is a DHCP reservation in the router for that IP, it should stay the same.

Kayjay

@phaedrux OK, thanks ...... phew I got there at last I'll play about with it now and if I still can't achieve connection I'll set it up the way you suggested earlier.

Thanks pal ! you're a star .... and you too David !

@phaedrux Should the Gateway be set to 0 with M554 P0.0.0.0 as well ?

Phaedrux

I think the gateway would still be your router IP

dc42

If you are using DHCP to get the IP address then it will automatically get the gateway address that way too.

Kayjay

@dc42 ok now I am puzzled. The config.g commenting says make the next two lines 0 for DHCP, which is the IP M552 and Gateway M554, so which is right. What should I enter in Gateway? I currently have 0.0.0.0 and it's connecting.

Phaedrux

My response was just based on the notes from the gcode wiki for setting the gateway. Go with DC42s response. which I think means that regardless of what you specify for the gateway in config.g if your IP address is set to 0.0.0.0 to get a DHCP address, the gateway will also be set via DHCP, so you don't have to worry bout it.

@phaedrux

Yep, se what you mean. OK, as I have it at 0 now I'll leave that and let the DHCP sort it out.
