Joey Kaylor Posted March 22, 2007 Share Posted March 22, 2007 so...i finally found out that once you go past version 46 and are using the ethernet adaptor, it wont frikking work since ford changed it from a static IP to dynamic. thought i would pass that on. if you have the AE cable adaptor, you need a USB to Ethernet adaptor to make it work. i figured that one out last night at 5:50, while trying to program some PATS keys for a customer that had to leave by 6pm. somnamabitcvhes@@@@!!!!!

Jim Warman Posted March 23, 2007 Share Posted March 23, 2007 Are you talking wireless or ???? IP addresses are a function of Windoze and not IDS software.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joey Kaylor Posted March 23, 2007 Author Share Posted March 23, 2007 the original versions of IDS up to 46 used a static IP address if you use a network bridge to connect instead of the USB cable (less issues with alot of computers, the USB cable i had didnt work all the time, you would have to disconnect a few times to make it com. correctly. when they went to 47, they made it to where the IP is dynamic for some reason, which means you have to change the IP address of the bridge every time you update. finally got mine figured out yesterday, had to get the IP address of a USB ethernet adapter and use it to configure the network bridge. and on a side note, you can run IDS on XP home with TWEAKNT software, it works beautifully! have been running it on my old Presario for four months now and havent had an issue aside from the updates.

Keith Browning Posted March 24, 2007 Share Posted March 24, 2007 I Googled it and downloaded it earlier. It loaded and does whatever it is supposed to but the IDS application still won't load and tells me it wont because of the wrong version of Windows. I don't see how it is going to get around that.

Jim Warman Posted March 24, 2007 Share Posted March 24, 2007 I'm still half lost, Joey.... is this connecting to the VCM or to a network? FWIW, there is a jumper available for the Toughbook that has the USB connection screwed to the tablet. About six inches of cable and we have another USB connector. Tugging on the cable can't hurt the !@#!?$!. For network connections, the ToughBook has onboard wireless but it has to be enabled in the BIOS. While we spared no expense (other than the wireless router I donated) with our shop network, we have no concerns regarding connectivity to this point.... even when one tech (whose PC bit the big green wiener) decided that internet radio was what we needed. FWIW... I only dabble in computers.... "network bridge" has more to do with morning rush hour for me /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/grin.gif Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Warman Posted March 24, 2007 Share Posted March 24, 2007 Kieth.. I think the profanity-bot is turned up to tight. !@#!?$! is actually !@#!?$! board. On edit.....

I hate using it but I hate excessive profanity and some guys cant seem to control themselves. Perhaps I'll edit the list... maybe shut it off. Do you know how much fun it was making the list? If my !@#!?$! read it I would be ashamed for knowing all those bad words!

Joey Kaylor Posted March 24, 2007 Author Share Posted March 24, 2007 I'm still half lost, Joey.... is this connecting to the VCM or to a network? i dont use a USB cable for mine, its much cheaper to replace a piece of CAT5 cable if it gets slammed in the door or stepped on instead of the USB cable.
