unable to configure network device

Hi everyone!

 

I am fairly new to labview and PXI Realtime sytems. However, the last days I got on with it pretty well.

Today I was booting the system and the RT controller (PXI 8106) didn't show up on my MAX. The system disappeared completely under network devices (usually it tells you that there is no connection). So I connected a monitor to the RT controller and got the following message:

 

transferrin control to user program

unable to configure the primary network device

rebooting in 10 secs.

 

and after a few tries it says:

Error bringing up basic services. Cannot start system.

System halted.

 

If I open up the BIOS and set the 'reset IP adress'  to yes, the system gets a little further and tells me:

 

Initializing network

Device 1 - MAC address: 00:80:2F:11:11:FA - 0.0.0.0 (primary)

Reboot due to system error

System state: Unconfigured

ETS TCP/IP: device ether1: another host has the same IP address!

 

Then the device shows up in my MAX with the 0.0.0.0 IP address.

If I put in a static IP address and submask and reboot the system it'll get the error message above...

 

Any help is greatly appreaciated!!! Thank you!

 

Kind regards,

Christian

Hello again!!!

 

What a bummer... after hacking around for 8 hours streight it works right after I opened a post in this forum.

I switched the harddrive switch on the controller back to RT-engine (the safe mode was switched on) and now it works perfectly just like before.

 

Sorry for bugging you!

All the best,

Christian
