[hpsdr] METIS PROBLEM - Direct PC Connection

[Phil Harman]

Hi Hans,

Check that you can ping your Metis board.  Its APIPA IP address will be 169.254.X.Y where X and Y are the last two bytes of the MAC address of your Metis board.

You can use HPSDRProgrammer to get the MAC address (just do a Discovery and its automatically displayed). So for example lets say your MAC address is 

00:09:F6:55:5E:8E 

then the IP address will be 169.254.95.142

If you are still having problems then do a Wireshark trace when starting PowerSDR and send me the file.

  I'm experiencing a problem when I power up with Metis.
  I get the "Limited Connectivity" message from WinXP, and "details" show IP address 169.254.163.71
  Metis is connected directly to the PC with a CAT 5 cable.
  LED 0 shows SLOW flashing - 100T
  LED 6 shows FAST flashing - DHCP timeout
  LED 12 shows "Heartbeat" OK.
  When PowerSDR is started, after a while, the "Error Starting HPSDR" message appears.
  Also, LED  9 is ON.
  I'm using PowerSDR v1.19.3.3 (W5WC - 3/6/11) downloaded from the HPSDR website.
  It all works OK when using OZY
  Have I missed something?
