Solved Alternating ethernet network settings

[AlexFisher]

Hi - I dual boot into Win-7 to run my Ethernet CNC Mill. Sometimes I need to use the same Ethernet Port to access the internet but this requires resetting my Ethernet Adapter Settings.

Network and Internet ->
Network Connections ->
CncMill
Unidentified Network
Intel(R) Ethernet Connection 1217-LM

Is there a way to have two versions of these Ethernet settings (Mill & Internet) so I can enable/disable them as required? Thanks - Alex.

Welcome to the forum can you open a cmd prompt type ipconfig/all

Do it on both settings and post results so we can see what the situation is

 

[AlexFisher]

Hi samuria, I can reset the adapter settings when I switch between the devices. What I want is a way to save the settings for each device so I don't have to go through the whole process each time. e.g. there is no option to copy, paste and rename the ethernet adapter icon so I can enable/disable different adapter settings as required. What do you think?

 

[samuria]

I need the info from ipconfig to see what the options are

How do you connect to the mill ie is it a cable plugged directly into it can its ip not be changed? If you plug it into the router can and the pc plugged in as well you still use it ? if so setting Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.1.254 may work for both

 

[AlexFisher]

Yes samuria, I plug directly between the mill motion controller and the pc ethernet socket. I want this direct connection to avoid network errors.

I think the motion controller ip address can be changed - could this allow me to save/select different network config setups?

 

[samuria]

If you could set the IP in the same range as the router you wouldn't need to change anything the other way is change IP of router so it matches

 

[AlexFisher]

samuria - I'm not clear about your suggestion 'set the IP in the same range as the router'. It would be great to arrange the network adapter for both devices but I think the mill controller settings also vary in other respects.

See page 4+ http://cncdrive.com/MC/UC300ETH datasheet/UC300ETH_manual.pdf

 

[Barman58]

What I would do in this situation is add another ethernet card (either additional or by replacing an existing card with a dual port one ), you then set up your internet to use one port, (and IP subnet), and the Mill Controller on the other

Another option would be a wireless USB adaptor if you have access to a wireless signal (use the Wireless for the internet as this should be less critical on connections)

 

[AlexFisher]

Thanks for the suggestions.
Barman58, as you know network settings in GNU-Linux are just text files that are easily automatically modified. I was hoping to find a similar soloution in Win 7 (I'm a Windows novice).
