hello all. i must say this is a great site! i am currently helping the college i am about to graduate from to finally, after years of having them, get the compactlogix(l23e) connected and running. so far the six plc's have been flashed with the firmware and i can use the rslinx/rs500 to hook up to the ethernet using the serial cord. i felt like a hero at first since they have not been able to do so. but the next night i had found the schools computers run on a dynamic network and the first three octets change. that wont work with a static ip in the plc and also the serial cords are limited to 2 homemade ones! how can i enable a dynamic address on the plc that will connect to the SAME computer it is assigned to? if i get this straight i am moving on to the panelview setup. oh, an i have only 2 weeks! thanks for any help
