Not able to create an access point on MyRIO board

[Afghow]

Hi !

Today I'm trying to follow this white paper (http://zone.ni.com/reference/en-XX/help/373925B-01/myriohelp/myrio_creating_wireless_networks/) to make my MyRIO board as an access point.

I tried with the MAX Interface but when I tried to access to the Network Settings of the board, it only show me an infinite spinner with written something like "Searching network card..." (Traduction of my poor french "Recherche de carte réseau en cours..."). instead of the menu on the first picture at this link http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/627507F4737474F286257CB4007984C6.

I precise that I can't do any operation on the wlan0 interface over SSH (without message like unknown interface wlan0) and the proxy of my company block access to the web network configuration of the card...

But the main problem is this infinite spinner. Just why ??

Please help guys...

Thank you everybody.

Hi afghow,

The "No network adapter found" message could be the result of:

- Incorrect IP configuration.

What is your computer IP address and the cRIO one ? (do you use DHCP or static?)

- An issue with your firewall

Did you try to disable your firewall to be able to access myRIO settings ?

Other reasons can be foudn on the link below:

Hi,

you mentioned your company proxy and I think that this problem is similar to what I had.

I had to insert the IP-address of myRIO into the "do not use proxy for these addresses"-section, see attached screenshot below. The path to find these proxy settings is this: Control panel => Internet Options => Connections => LAN Settings => Advanced. The IP-address of my myRIO (when using USB cable) is by default 172.22.11.2 and once you get myRIO to work as an access point it is 172.16.0.1. Therefore I've added these addresses with the whole subnet in the proxy settings: 172.22.11.*; 172.16.0.*. You can use the specific IP addresses as well.

After I did this, MAX finds myRIO's network settings after a short search time.

Hi guys !

Thank you for your replies, it seems to be weird in my case, but it was linked to the proxy of my company. I just unplug the RJ45 wire from my computer, refresh the panel in MAX and I was able to access to the network configuration, I configured my access point and plug again the RJ45 and everything is working fine now !

Thank again for your replies !
