In RSlogix5000, under the communications tab, who active, I see the IP address of the PLC showing (Im guessing) default of 169.254.0.1, but as an unknown device. I've set the the address of the PC to static, giving it an address of 169.254.0.2, mask of 255.255.255.0, and gateway of 169.254.0.5
In the who active, it shows the computer with the given address, but it can't link to the PLC. I've tried straight and cross over cables.
I've also tried the USB interface but it cant find the drivers....and searching doesn't seem to locate anything either.
This is running XP on the PC, so under the hardware manager, it can find the PLC and identifies it (so its enumerating) but not indication of what driver its looking for.
Has to be something simple...im sure.
