Hi Everyone, so i got a bit of a head scratcher, i cant connect to any of my PLCs on a local network....
For instance, i have a work bench in my office to do all of my PLC testing and training, and i have multiple remote racks, and different IO modules all connected over ethernet. I always just connect locally to my test bench when im trying something new. However, as of this morning my comms just stopped working.
Here's whats weird, my IP has not changed, ive tried multiple drivers on my computer, ive bypassed the ethernet switch and went straight to the device, and i have re-installed rockwell software,
But it gets weirder, i can ping all of the devices on my network via command prompt and get a response from them all. However, i cant put the IP in a web browser and pull it up?????
I also tried using RS linx and Factorytalk Linx, and both will show the devices in the tree.......But you CANT drill down the backplane. I also took a spare computer with no software on it, and connected to my network and searched all my devices in a browser and all of them pulled up.
Im also connected to our plants PLC network as well, and i can go online and view all of those problems without a hitch, which makes me beleive its not software related.
Not sure if this is windows related, but has anyone seen this, or know what could cause this?
