RSLinx ethernet communication

[MarkiusSchu]

Hello all,

I'm trying to talk to a PanelView Plus 1000 on an ethernet network. The PanelView, along with a CompactLogix L35E and some other components, are plugged into an ethernet hub. My laptop doesn't have an ethernet jack, so I plugged a wirless router into the hub and connected to that netwrok with the laptop.
When I go into RSLinx and autodiscover on the ethernet IP driver, nothing is discovered. I'm a beginner at both networking and Allen-Bradley; Can anyone help to tell me why I can't see anything?

Thanks in advance,
Mark

just a guess, but do you have your IP/subnet correct?

Well, I'm not sure about the settings that are used in the network, unfortunately. Is there any way I can discover this?

I was able to go online through the CompactLogix serial port and see the configuration. Hope this helps anybody in the future with a similar issue.
Cheers!
