[hpsdr] No network connection to Hermes

[Bill Tracey]

How are Hermes and the computer attached.  Are 
they both attached to a switch,or is it a 
straight cable connection between the two?   How 
does the computer get it's IP addr for this 
adapter - the data you attached shows DHCP is 
enabled, but showed no DNS or Gateway configured 
which is sort of odd for config  from a DHCP  server.

What address (if any) have you assigned to 
Hermes?    I suspect Hermes is trying to DHCP an 
addr, not getting one and falling back to an 
APIPA  ( 
<http://compnetworking.about.com/cs/protocolsdhcp/g/bldef_apipa.htm>http://compnetworking.about.com/cs/protocolsdhcp/g/bldef_apipa.htm 
) addr.    Since your machine looks to be 
assigned to network 10.0.0 it can't talk to 
Hermes since it's sitting on an APIPA addr.

A Wireshark trace of the network when Hermes is 
powered up would show whether he's getting an 
addr via DHCP.  A Wireshark of pressing the start 
button on PowerSDR would also be interesting to 
see what the PC is sending and if it's getting any response from Hermes.
