Hello,
I have the smoothieboard 4x, and I have installed the RJ45 connector that came with the board.
Yesterday I was trying to access the Webserver, its not possible.
I have only the USB and the RJ45 cable connected, is necessary to connect the VBBin (power supply), to make the network work?
Best regards.

No the USB cable should be enough.
What does the “net” command answer over serial, and did you enable network in the config file ?
Hi, I am having the same problem, I ordered the connector from ROBOSEED, installed it along with the voltage regulator.
When testing, the board does not connect to the network.
The config file was amended for the network connection, and both manual IP and DHCP were tested without success.
The connection is never established. Slow flashing LEDs at the network connector.
I checked my soldering of the connector, checked the configuration for network settings without success.
#network settings
network.enable true # enable the ethernet network services
network.webserver.enable true # enable the webserver
network.telnet.enable true # enable the telnet server
network.ip_address true # use dhcp to get ip address
#uncomment the 3 below to manually setup ip address
#network.ip_address 192.168.0.20 # the IP address
#network.ip_mask 255.255.255.0 # the ip mask
#network.ip_gateway 192.168.0.1 # the gateway address
#network.mac_override xx.xx.xx.xx.xx.xx # override the mac address, only do this if you have a conflict
Am I missing something.
network.ip_address should be set to “auto”, not “true”
Can you try with this fixed ?
Cheers.
Yup, that was it, a little slow for the smoothieboard to respond, but it connects ok.
Thanks, I must have removed it and relied on the other values being true/false when configuring it.
Ah well ce’st la vie.
Hello,
problem solved, I haven’t uncommented the lines in config file, now it works.
Thanks.
Everybody’s problems are solved, yay !
Have fun with your boards
