Hi,

I'm running GalilTools 1.2.0.0. I like the watch feature. It's really nice. However, it also appears to expose a lot of problems with Ethernet connections. In particular, I've used three different DMC21x2 controllers on two PC's. I've noticed that when watch is running that two of these controllers will lose connection in seconds and an error box (1153 TIMEOUT error) pops up. All cables, computers, motors, etc are the same. However, one of the controllers is robust and does not lose Ethernet.

Is this a known issue and if so, what is the fix?

Ignore the Ethernet questions. The "issue" was that my IT guy gave me a DHCP IP address instead of a fixed one! The "good" controller was using a valid fixed address. Arggh!
