W7100A-S2E Configtool: Searching with UDP brodcast

Question

Hi, I have a problem when I try to search the W7100A-S2E devices connected to my net. If it is the first time that I connect an W7100A-S2E device to a net and I press “search” using UDP broadcast I haven’t any answer. The day after all runs ok. What is the reason?

Hi gbit. Did you turn Windows or Anti-virus Firewall on? First, I guess the firewall caused problem like you. If yes, please turn Firewall off and try re-Search using configuration tool. Second, If you use the Virtual machine on Windows (e.g., VirtualBox), Please disabled network adapter for Virtual machines (e.g., VirtualBox Host-Only Network, and Etc.) or adjusted metric priorities for network adapters. There is a possibility that the problem occurs because of Metric priorities. Please refer to below for more details. I guess it caused by priority of network adapters. (Metric) it can be seen using ‘route print’ command on windows command console (can be entered by using a ‘cmd’ command) Please Try adjusting each adapter’s ‘interface metric’ value in IP Settings tab (in Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) Properties). (notice: lower metric means higher priority of network adapters) Please refer to ‘How to change the interface metric on a network adapter’ in next link: support.microsoft.com/kb/894564 support.microsoft.com/kb/299540
