Hello Simon, I had a play with the Beta last night, very nice. Continuum works great as does the horizontal audio waterfall window. Thanks very much.

Hi Ingolf,

I added a sentence in the description to make the issue more obvious.

Thank you very much for your hint.

Kind regards

Hi Ingolf,

I am glad you got it working. Your finding matches my description:

Update 3: A radio amateur had also problems, getting his Pluto connected to his Router. He was
using the default IP address 192.168.2.1. and tried to connect to a Speedport Router from Telekom.
It turned out that the Speedport default IP address range is 192.168.2.x which is in conflict with the
Pluto. The solution is to change either the IP address of the Pluto or assing a different IP address
range to the Speedport.

Kind regards

Matthias

Hi all.

I promised to report my progress on this subject.

It now works as expected.

So, I received my Y-cable as recommended by Matthias. As Rolf commented, you do not need a Y-cable, just a USB micro to USB-A (f) adapter cable.
The USB to Ethernet adapter is powered from the Pluto via the Data USB port just fine. So i just left the Y-end open.
The USB to Ethernet adapter is a D-link DUB-E100.

I set the 

[USB_ETHERNET]
ipaddr_eth = 192.168.2.196

The PC was set to 192.168.2.10.
No joy, i.e. no connection to the Pluto neither via the internal info page (port 80) nor via SDRC using the standard port 0.
I also put a Ethernet switch in between the PC and the USB to Ethernet adapter. Still no joy.

In the config.txt under [NETWORK] I had the standard
ipaddr=192.168.2.1
ipaddr_host=192.168.2.10
netmask=255.255.255.0

I then used ZenMap (Nmap) to scan all involved ip-addresses. No ports were found at all.

I then changed the

[NETWORK]
ipaddr=192.168.0.1
ipaddr_host=192.168.0.10
netmask=255.255.255.0

and kept the 

[USB_ETHERNET]
ipaddr_eth = 192.168.2.196

And the PC at 192.168.2.10.

Now everything sprung to life!
Both the internal info page and the radio via SDRC was accessible.
Now ZenMap shows two ports, 22 and 80.
Setting up SDRC I used port 0 at first but moved to port 22 when finalizing the set-up. Both works just fine.
It works exactly the same with the PC direct and via the Ethernet switch.

The Lessons Learned from this is that the [NETWORK] and the [USB_ETHERNET] CAN NOT BE SET TO THE SAME SUB-NET.

I enclose screenshots of the ZenMap display and the SDRC Set-up window with my working conditions.

My next step will be to configure Port Fwd in my router to be able to access the Pluto remote via Internet.

I hope my experiences here may help someone else to make it working as well.

Hello Bill, I started to download and had lots of Network failures, then at 7GB of 7.5GB on the first file I got the following error.

Failed – no file, is this just because of too many downloads?

Regards

Conrad PA5Y

Thanks Bill, downloading now. I am looking forward to listening to these.

Conrad

Now I will wait for sigi’s comments.

Conrad

OK then NP 😉

Do you refer to QO-100 Simon? For any other application I beg to differ. Do the job? Depends on what the job is. I would not use a Pluto with an amplifier for any terrestrial use. The output is horrible.
