Hi guys…
Like always, the title tells you not much of the story…
But today whilst onsite with out machine I got asked if I could get our laptops on the internet… well I googled if from my phone…
Found I needed to tweek a few settings, and set the iPaddress of the cozy as the gateway address…
The changes where…
• NatItf=2 (NatandTFonWAN)
• VPNRedirect = 0 (Allow traffic outside the VPN tunnel)
• FwrdToWAN = 1 (Forward LAN traffic to WAN)
So this was all good…
Now this led me into a new world… I can work on the machine lan… and then get info off the web… it was perfection
So I started a few checks and one thing I noticed was I was on an old version of the firmware… so with my new online skills, I got the tools , and upgraded the firmware… sorted…
Then knowing I’d made some changes I wanted to check I’d not lost the ability to connect into the plc or other hardware (we have a couple of Keyance camera controllers) so back at the hotel I tried to connect in…
And then it happened sad face … nothing… I can’t ping the plc, can’t see the cameras… ah… rubbish…
So what have I tried… we I’ve reset the values I changed… (so I believe)
I’ve even managed to do a reinstall of the firmware…
And I’ve tinkersd with every setting and even through all the wizards!,setups and anything else I can think of…
But nothing…
So I’m thinking how do I fix this?
Factory reset… but if I do that… how can I have both where I get my laptop online,and and can connect in remotely…
