If you haven't already, you might download and install Wireshark
(used to be called Ethereal). This is an open source Ethernet
protocol analyzer that will capture all traffic between the PC
running Weblink and the OmniPro II. If you've never used a protocol
analyzer for Ethernet before, it can seem a bit daunting at first
(TCP/IP can be fairly complex) but Wireshark does a very good job of
explaining what it sees and flags packets that are in error. This
is something you could fire up and just let it run in the
background, quietly capturing packets. Once you have captured a
failure you might be able to see what is going on. If not, the
capture trace could provide valuable information for anyone else
trying to fix the problem. Wireshark can be downloaded at
<a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="http://www.wireshark.org">www.wireshark.org</a>. I use the heck out of this thing. I am
currently developing hardware that will control my whole house
audio. The board has a web server and is configured and controlled
via a web browser. Had it not been for Wireshark, development would
have been much more difficult - it clearly shows me what is going
back and forth and allows me to quickly spot when and where problems
are occurring. <br>
